Doing a little research on Data centres. Lots are being built in Melbourne as we apparently it has a good power supply


UAE recently made the BIG Melbourne builds look like mice sized


"The planned "Stargate UAE" AI data centre in Abu Dhabi is projected to have immense power requirements. Here's a breakdown based on available information:

• Initial Phase (2026): The first phase is expected to consume 1 gigawatt (GW) of power. This alone is equivalent to the electricity usage of approximately 700,000 homes.
• Full Capacity: Once fully operational, the entire 10-square-mile campus is anticipated to have a data centre capacity of 5 gigawatts (GW). This massive power consumption is comparable to that of several mid-sized US cities combined.

Key Points:

• This extraordinary power demand reflects the energy-intensive nature of advanced AI infrastructure.
• The facility is expected to house around 100,000 Nvidia chips in its initial phase, highlighting the high density of power-hungry processing units.
• The project signifies a substantial portion of the surging global demand for AI infrastructure and the increasing concentration of AI computing capacity.

The UAE is also focusing on sustainability in its data centre development, with initiatives exploring renewable energy sources like solar power and energy-efficient cooling technologies to mitigate the environmental impact of these power-intensive facilities."

The trivial reason I was interested was of course my interest in Electricity and power supply for overseas NOT here

UAE recently had Korea built " Barakah Nuclear Power Plant" Its 4 Pressurized Water Reactors (PWR). The 4 APR-1400 Generation III+ design based on the Korean OPR-1000 and incorporates features from the US Westinghouse new design.

The trivia but not trivial other bit is other BIG data centres are being built in the UAE

Who has Kepco's phone number? Not the Australian Government or CSIRO perhaps.
