DOE has selected four sites—Idaho National Laboratory, Oak Ridge Reservation, Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant and Savannah River Site—to move forward with plans to invite private sector partners to develop cutting edge AI data center and energy generation projects. The announcement supports the Trump administration’s goals of utilizing Federal lands to lower energy costs and help power the global AI race.  The chosen locations are well-situated for large-scale data centers, new power generation, and other necessary infrastructure. More details regarding project scope, eligibility requirements, and submission guidelines at each site will be available with the site-specific releases. These solicitations are expected to be released in the coming months, and partners could be selected by the end of the year. DOE Announces Data Center Site Selection on Federal Lands – electrifiED
