A new report from Greenpeace Australia has warned that the rapid expansion of AI data centres across Australia is set to slow the country's renewable energy transition rather than accelerate it.
Tech giant Amazon has announced nine new renewable energy power purchase agreements (PPAs) in Australia totalling 430MW, with eight projects featuring solar generation co-located with BESS.
Amazon, Google, OpenAI and other tech firms have signed the 'ratepayer protection pledge' to build, bring or buy the energy required to build and operate data centres.
