UC San Diego to Test Innovative Power Technology for AI Data Centers

The San Diego Supercomputer Center at UC San Diego will host an $8.48 million project funded by the California Energy Commission to test innovative power technology for AI data centers. This initiative aims to reduce energy waste, lower costs, and improve grid reliability for AI data centers, which consume significantly more electricity than traditional servers. The project also includes a workforce development program to create career pathways in the energy and AI sectors for under-resourced communities.
