According to Sawyer Merritt, xAI is planning to install around 88 acres of solar panels around its Colossus supercomputer facility in Memphis, Tennessee, aiming to power its AI infrastructure with renewable energy. This move follows a recent announcement by Memphis Light Gas & Water partnering with another company to construct a 550-acre solar field near xAI’s campus, signaling a significant trend toward sustainable energy solutions for large-scale AI operations. This development highlights a growing business opportunity for AI companies to invest in green energy to lower operational costs and enhance their environmental credentials, supporting the increasing energy demands of advanced AI models and data centers (Sawyer Merritt, Twitter, Nov 26, 2025; WREG News).
