Action Checklist

  • Inventory AI workloads and map them to required MW per year. Translate model growth projections into electrical and cooling needs.
  • Engage economic development agencies early. Incentive packages can offset capex, but they carry reporting obligations on jobs and sustainability.
  • Design for efficiency. Adopt liquid cooling, waste-heat reuse, and dynamic orchestration to hit energy and water targets.
  • Quantify community benefits. Document tax contributions, workforce programs, and renewable investments to maintain local support.
  • Review regulatory signals quarterly. Grid interconnection rules, export controls on chips, and zoning laws are shifting rapidly in 2024–2025.
