Google面临长达10年的等待, 将数据中心和美国电网连接起来, Google faces over-10-year waits to connect data centers to U.S. power grid due to outdated infrastructure and delays.

Google说,将数据中心与美国电网连接起来目前是最大的挑战,由于传输基础设施过时,一些地区的互联等待时间超过十年。 Google says connecting its data centers to the U.S. power grid is now its biggest challenge, with interconnection wait times exceeding a decade in some areas due to outdated transmission infrastructure. 随着对AI驱动数据中心的需求不断增长,电网升级速度缓慢和允许延误阻碍了扩展。 As demand for AI-driven data centers grows, the slow pace of grid upgrades and permitting delays hinder expansion. 为了缩短等待时间,谷歌正在探索与现有发电厂合用同一地点,尽管这引起了对成本、公平和可靠性的担忧。 To cut wait times, Google is exploring co-location with existing power plants, though this raises concerns over cost, fairness, and reliability. 联邦和区域监管机构目前正在审查如何为这类安排制定明确的规则。 Federal and regional regulators are now reviewing how to create clear rules for such arrangements.
