As of April 3, 2025, the US Department of Energy (DOE) announced plans to continue promoting artificial intelligence (AI) while lowering energy costs by co-locating data centers and new energy infrastructure on DOE lands. [1] DOE has released a Request for Information (RFI) to inform the potential use of DOE land for AI infrastructure development to support the growing demand for data centers. The DOE has identified 16 possible sites for rapid data center construction, including those with in-place energy infrastructure that can facilitate fast-track permitting for new energy generation, such as nuclear. The Department is seeking input from data center developers, energy developers, and the broader public to advance the partnership further. This information will be used to inform development, encourage private-public partnerships, and enable the construction of AI infrastructure at select DOE sites with a target of commencing operation by the end of 2027.
