Reliance to set up solar power project
In a post on ‘X’, he said in order to power the proposed AI Data Centre sustainably, Reliance will also develop a 6 GWp solar power project in the state which will double Andhra’s current ground-mounted solar capacity, contribute over 30 per cent of the renewable energy, and unlock AP’s vast solar potential.
“Reliance will set up a 1 GW Artificial Intelligence Data Centre in the state, a fully modular, future-ready facility designed to host the world’s most advanced GPUs, TPUs, and AI processors. It will operate as a twin to their gigawatt-scale AI Data Centre in Jamnagar, together forming one of Asia’s strongest AI infrastructure networks,” Naidu said in the post.
