谷歌投资170亿美元在怀俄明州夏延建首座数据中心
谷歌11月5日宣布，将投资170亿美元在怀俄明州夏延市建设其在该州的首座数据中心，继续推进大型人工智能基础设施投资。谷歌将与Tallgrass Energy、Black Hills Energy、美国电力公司及Related Digital合作建设该项目。数据中心的部分电力将来自规划中的702兆瓦燃料电池项目，该项目配备碳捕集与封存技术，燃料电池由Bloom Energy供应。项目选址位于夏延市以南约8英里的斯威奇格拉斯工业园，此前被称为“特姆博项目”，配套电力资源规模达2.7吉瓦，预计2027年底开始供电，2030年达到峰值负荷。这一宣布正值全美对数据中心扩张的政治阻力上升：本周投票的41项数据中心相关地方议案中，除一项外全部反对扩建。谷歌表示，尽管存在争议，公司仍将推进该项目，合作方将承担相关电力成本，不转嫁给其他电力用户。

Google to Invest $17 Billion in Its First Wyoming Data Center, in Cheyenne
Google announced on Nov. 5 that it will invest $17 billion to build its first data center in Wyoming, in Cheyenne, as it presses ahead with large-scale artificial intelligence infrastructure spending. Google will develop the project together with Tallgrass Energy, Black Hills Energy, American Electric Power and Related Digital.
Part of the site's power will come from a planned 702-megawatt fuel-cell project equipped with carbon capture and storage, with the fuel cells supplied by Bloom Energy. The site is at the Switchgrass Industrial Park about eight miles south of Cheyenne — previously known as 'Project Tembo' — with planned power resources totaling 2.7 gigawatts, expected to start delivering power by late 2027 and reach peak load in 2030.
The announcement comes as political resistance to data center expansion rises across the country: of 41 data-center-related local ballot measures voted on this week, all but one opposed expansion. Google said it will proceed despite the controversy, and that its partners will bear the related power costs rather than passing them on to other utility customers.
