Oracle Is Promising 2 Gigawatts of Renewables to Silence Stargate Data Centre Critics
Oracle has announced it will procure two gigawatts of renewable energy to offset the emissions from the Stargate AI data centre project it is co-developing with OpenAI and SoftBank. The move is a direct response to mounting pressure from local communities, environmental groups, and some government officials who have raised concerns about Stargate's energy footprint.
Key Takeaways
- Oracle has committed to procuring two gigawatts of renewable energy to offset Stargate data centre emissions
- Stargate is a 500 billion dollar AI infrastructure initiative co-developed by Oracle, OpenAI, and SoftBank
- The UK's Hornsea One offshore wind farm, once the world's largest, has a capacity of 1.2 gigawatts, making Oracle's pledge larger in name at least
