The expansion of artificial intelligence is not only about data and computing capacity. Behind new digital infrastructure, energy demand is also growing, requiring solutions capable of ensuring availability and continuity of generation.
In Antofagasta, Chile, a future AI campus could start with a capacity of 50 MW and gradually expand to reach 1 GW over the long term. The project is still in its early stages, but the identified requirements already include the need to use clean and sustainable energy.
This opens up an interesting field of application for the photovoltaic sector. The growth of energy-intensive infrastructure can in fact progress alongside the development of new renewable capacity, especially in areas with significant solar resources.
New electricity demand and new generation capacity are increasingly destined to converge. In scenarios like this, photovoltaic technology can help transform the availability of solar resources into energy for infrastructure that is reshaping the digital economy. For Peimar, this also means looking at these new demand profiles and bringing its photovoltaic expertise to projects and applications that continue to evolve.
