UK utility National Grid is investing in a power generation project to support Microsoft's data center expansion in the United States. The initiative addresses the surging energy demands from AI and cloud computing.
The project, located in Wisconsin, will deliver 250 megawatts of solar capacity paired with significant battery storage. It is a direct component of Microsoft's goal to match 100% of its global data center energy consumption with renewable sources by 2025.
This partnership underscores the critical link between major tech growth and renewable energy infrastructure investment.
