AI BriefingKevin O'Leary Pushes Forward with 7.5GW AI Data Center
Key point
Kevin O'Leary is pushing forward with the construction of 'Stratos,' a massive 7.5GW-scale AI data center in Utah.
Details
The Stratos data center project, set to be built north of the Great Salt Lake in Utah, is a massive infrastructure using 7.5GW of power, and is expected to become the world's largest data center upon completion.
The developer, O'Leary Digital (founded by Kevin O'Leary), is pushing forward with this project to respond to the AI dominance race among hyperscaler companies such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Microsoft.
Key features are as follows:
- Scale: 10,000 acres out of a 40,000-acre site will be used for the data center (about 2/3 the size of Manhattan).
- Energy and Resources: The project plans to build its own energy generation capacity and use a closed-loop cooling system instead of lake water to address water resource concerns.
- Design: Designed by global architecture firm Gensler, a total of 55 buildings will be constructed in 6 phases over 10 years. It aims for an aesthetically considered design, departing from the typical warehouse-style design.
