Data center company signs power deal for space-based solar
Original: A data center company signed a PPA for space solar power
A data center company has signed a power purchase agreement for space solar power, committing to buy electricity generated by solar satellites in orbit and beamed back to Earth. The deal would mark one of the first commercial commitments to the emerging technology, which promises round-the-clock clean energy but remains unproven at scale. It highlights growing energy demand from data centers driving companies toward unconventional power sources.
Why now: Data centers' surging electricity needs are pushing operators toward novel clean energy sources like space solar power.
