The facility is expected to support the company\u2019s expanding AI infrastructure tied to its Colossus data center operations near Memphis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The development was reported by <em><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2026\/03\/10\/elon-musk-xai-permit-for-mississippi-plant-despite-pollution-concerns.html\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CNBC<\/a><\/em>, citing confirmation from the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the report, regulators \u201cvoted to approve the permit\u201d of xAI subsidiary MZX Tech LLC to construct a power plant featuring 41 natural gas-burning turbines \u201cafter careful consideration of all public comments and community concerns.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality stated that the permit followed a regulatory review process that included public comments and community input. Jaricus Whitlock, air division chief for the MDEQ, stated that the project met all applicable environmental standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">NEWS: Elon Musk&#39;s <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/xai?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@xAI<\/a> has just won a permit to build a power plant in Mississippi to help power its massive Colossus datacenter.<br><br>&quot;The proposed PSD permit in front of the board today not only meets all state and federal permitting regulations, but goes above and beyond what is\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/T7ojh4fYs0\">pic.twitter.com\/T7ojh4fYs0<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Sawyer Merritt (@SawyerMerritt) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SawyerMerritt\/status\/2031461162060034217?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 10, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe proposed PSD permit in front of the board today not only meets all state and federal permitting regulations, but goes above and beyond what is required by law. MDEQ and the EPA agree that not a single person around our facilities will be exposed to unhealthy levels of air pollution,\u201d Whitlock stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The planned facility will help provide electricity for xAI\u2019s AI computing infrastructure in the Memphis region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Southaven project forms part of xAI\u2019s efforts to scale computing capacity for its artificial intelligence systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company currently operates two major data centers in Memphis, known as Colossus 1 and Colossus 2, which provide computing power for xAI\u2019s Grok AI models. xAI is also planning to build another large data center in Southaven called Macrohardrr, which would be located in a warehouse previously used by GXO Logistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Large-scale AI training requires substantial computing power and electricity, prompting technology companies to develop dedicated energy infrastructure for their data centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SpaceX President <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.teslarati.com\/spacex-president-gwynne-shotwell-xai-power-pledge-white-house\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gwynne Shotwell<\/a> previously stated that xAI plans to develop 1.2 gigawatts of power capacity for its Memphis-area AI supercomputer site as part of the federal government\u2019s Ratepayer Protection Pledge. The commitment was announced during an event with United States President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs part of today\u2019s commitment, we will take extensive additional steps to continue to reduce the costs of electricity for our neighbors. 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<p>\u201cThe installation will provide enough backup power to power the city of Memphis, and more than sufficient energy to power the town of Southaven, Mississippi where the data center resides. We will build new substations and invest in electrical infrastructure to provide stability to the area\u2019s grid.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The development was
