SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell stated that xAI will develop 1.2 gigawatts of power at its Memphis-area AI supercomputer site as part of the White House\u2019s new \u201cRatepayer Protection Pledge.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The commitment was announced during an event with United States President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the White House event, Shotwell stated that xAI\u2019s AI data center near Memphis would include a major energy installation designed to support the facility\u2019s power needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs you know, xAI builds huge supercomputers and data centers and we build them fast. Currently, we\u2019re building one on the Tennessee-Mississippi state line. As part of today\u2019s commitment, we will take extensive additional steps to continue to reduce the costs of electricity for our neighbors\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“xAI will therefore commit to develop 1.2 GW of power as our supercomputer\u2019s primary power source. That will be for every additional data center as well. We will expand what is already the largest global Megapack power installation in the world,\u201d Shotwell said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
