Australia urged to learn from resources boom for AI and data centre development

Australia's Assistant Minister for the Digital Economy, Andrew Charlton, is urging the nation to learn from the mistakes of the resources boom and establish clear terms for the burgeoning AI and data centre sector. He proposes a 'triple lock' system requiring new renewable energy supply, full cost recovery for infrastructure, and grid cooperation to manage the significant energy demands.

Scottish charity warns "green datacentre" policy could ignore massive carbon emissions

A Scottish charity, Action to Protect Rural Scotland (APRS), warns that the government's policy on "green datacentres" lacks a clear definition, potentially allowing significant carbon emissions to be overlooked. Despite huge energy demands and planned gas connections for over 100 datacentre projects, the policy's climate impact analysis is outdated and doesn't account for AI development.

Google developers significantly misstate carbon emissions of proposed UK datacentres

Emissions understated by factor of five in Essex plans for tech giant, while Greystoke’s Lincolnshire plans show similar errorDevelopers working for Google have significantly misstated how much carbon two proposed AI datacentres will contribute to the UK’s total emissions in planning documents reviewed by the Guardian.The tech company wants to build two huge datacentres – one 52-hectare (130 acre) project in Thurrock and another at an airfield in North Weald, both in Essex. To do so, developers are required to submit planning documents calculating how much carbon these projects will emit as a proportion of the UK’s total carbon footprint. Continue reading...

‘Peak TV is behind us’: UK developers pivot from building studios to datacentres amid AI boom

Ambitious plans are being scaled back – but film and TV industry point to big existing investments in British productionHollywood blockbusters including the eagerly anticipated Beatles biopics and big-budget TV series such as Bridgerton have been keeping the UK’s film and TV studio facilities packed.But as the streaming wars recalibrate having passed “peak TV”, a slowdown in the content arms race is prompting property developers to switch to building datacentres amid the AI boom.

Samsung reports record quarterly profit as chip income jumps almost 50-fold

The AI boom is worsening a global memory chip shortage, which Samsung predicts will continue into 2027Samsung Electronics on Thursday reported record quarterly profit driven by a 49-fold jump in chip income, saying it expects a severe supply shortage to deepen next year as clients spend on AI, driving up prices of its memory chips.A boom in the construction of AI datacentres has spurred Samsung and chipmaking peers to allocate production capacity to advanced chips that Nvidia uses in its so-called AI accelerators. Even so, chipmakers are struggling to meet demand while the move also squeezes the supply of conventional chips. Continue reading...

UK government AI climate impact estimate revised up by factor of 100

The UK government has revised its estimate of carbon emissions from AI datacentres by more than 100 times, after an investigation revealed the original figure was a significant underestimate. New data shows AI datacentres could emit 34-123 MtCO2 over the next decade, equivalent to 0.9-3.4% of the UK's projected total emissions between 2025-2035. The previous estimate claimed emissions would reach just 0.142 MtCO2 in a single year.

Microsoft and US Tech Giants Lobbied EU to Hide Datacenter Environmental Impact, Investigation Finds

An investigation has found that Microsoft and other US tech companies successfully lobbied the EU to add a secrecy provision to datacentre regulations in 2024, blocking public access to environmental performance data. The provision, written almost word-for-word from industry demands, prevents researchers from accessing individual datacentre pollution metrics, leaving only national-level summaries. Legal scholars warn the confidentiality clause violates EU transparency rules and the Aarhus convention on public access to environmental information.
