Meta will fund the energy infrastructure for its $27 billion mega data center in Louisiana. The company struck a deal with Entergy Louisiana to finance seven new natural gas power plants, transmission lines, and renewable resources. This move aims to offset rising electricity costs from AI data centers and address concerns over power-hungry, environmentally damaging facilities. Despite a lack of binding agreements, tech companies, including Meta, are taking steps to show their commitment to responsible energy practices. The industry faces increasing pressure for regulation, as shown by recent legislative efforts to pause data center construction until meaningful regulations are in place.
