The Energy Department has identified 16 federal sites that could house powerful data centers to advance U.S. artificial intelligence technologies. The goal is to begin construction on new AI sites by the end of 2027. DOE is seeking feedback from data center developers, energy firms and the public as part of a request for information released last week. The RFI is part of the Trump administration’s efforts to advance AI and boost energy production. Feedback to DOE is due by April 20.
