CoreWeave致信德州当选州长伊诺霍萨:愿就数据中心项目合作、承诺自担并网基建费用

美国德克萨斯州 — 据彭博社11月7日报道,云服务商 CoreWeave 的联合创始人兼首席执行官 Michael Intrator 当天致信德州当选州长 Gina Hinojosa,祝贺她胜选,并表示愿与新政府就该公司在德州现有及未来的数据中心项目开展合作。这封两页的信件呼吁双方共同制定一套长期适用的数据中心建设标准。
Intrator 在信中说,CoreWeave 坚定支持伊诺霍萨提出的三项原则:社区在数据中心发展中应有发言权;居民家庭不应为新基础设施买单;开发应保护当地的水、电与生活质量。他承诺,公司将自行承担新设施接入电网所需的变电站、输电升级等基础设施费用,不把成本转嫁给周边居民;新增产能将采用闭环液冷系统以减少耗水。信中还表示,公司欢迎伊诺霍萨此前的澄清:已经获批的数据中心项目将被允许建成。
信中列出 CoreWeave 在德州的六处运营设施,位于 Austin、Denton、Dickens County、Plano、Richardson 与 Round Rock。CoreWeave 称,截至6月30日其在运营数据中心为51座、活跃电力超过1.5吉瓦,截至8月11日签约电力约4.2吉瓦;公司定于11月10日公布第三季度业绩。

CoreWeave Writes to Texas Governor-Elect Hinojosa Seeking Data Center Cooperation, Pledges to Fund Grid Infrastructure
Texas, United States — CoreWeave co-founder and chief executive Michael Intrator wrote on November 7 to Texas Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa, congratulating her on her election victory and seeking to work with her incoming administration on the company's current and future data center projects in the state, Bloomberg reported. The two-page letter calls for a durable set of standards to govern data center development.
Intrator wrote that CoreWeave strongly supports Hinojosa's stated principles: communities should have a voice in data center development, households should not be left paying for new infrastructure, and development should protect local water, power and quality of life. He pledged that the company funds the infrastructure required to connect its facilities to the grid, including substations and transmission upgrades, rather than passing those costs to neighbouring households, and that new capacity will use closed-loop liquid cooling systems designed to limit water consumption. The letter also welcomed Hinojosa's clarification that already-permitted data center projects will be allowed to be completed.
The letter names six places in Texas where CoreWeave says it has active facilities: Austin, Denton, Dickens County, Plano, Richardson and Round Rock. CoreWeave says it operated 51 data centers with more than 1.5 gigawatts of active power as of June 30, and about 4.2 gigawatts of contracted power capacity as of August 11; it is due to report third-quarter results on November 10.
Hinojosa campaigned on pausing new data center development until protections for residents are established in law. GSM reported her position on November 5; this story records the industry response. (Source: Bloomberg)
