Powering data centers in the desert The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region’s very high irradiance levels and low electricity costs make it an ideal location to develop utility-scale solar plants to power critical infrastructure such as hyperscale AI data centers. However, droughts and storms, hardware supply chain shortages, and geopolitical conflict all pose challenges for investors. But increased investor confidence is precisely what the region needs to prepare for 100% renewable energy powered data centers.

The weekend read: Age of green hydrogen causes co-location rethink The regions where the desert meets the sea have long been thought the most desolate and unproductive areas of the world, fruitful solely for those clever cultures who call them home. However, in the 21st century, that fiscal notion is turning on its head, and turning as rapidly as a wind turbine in a tornado.
