Elon Musk XAI has reached the official permit for the food of its supercomputer in Memphis, Tennessee, using turbines that burn natural gas, reports public record It is shared by the company on Wednesday.
On July 2, the Sherby County Health Department issued permits, despite the months of protests and public hearings when the locals refused the effects of the turbines on the air quality. The startup of artificial intelligence, which now owns its site on social media X, will encounter official emission restrictions, testing requirements and terms to keep 15 turbines at the facility.
The permission states that failure to comply with the requirements can lead to daily fines to $ 10,000 for violation.
People who live near Kolas’s supercomputer in Memphis Poor air quality In the area, he considered that it is almost impossible to keep the windows open or exercise outdoors from the stench.
Turbines emit nitrogen oxides and formaldehyde, among other pollutants, specification reports on the installation site, Energy infrastructure solarisFounded in Houston. SEI sells itself as a “power supplier”, is able to provide rapid deployment of portable natural gas generators at the data processing center and other objects with direct and significant power requirements.
Exposure to the high level of nitric oxide, which are the precursors of ozone formation, were associated with an increased risk of death from respiratory diseases.
The permission was issued a day after the local health department called Bruce Randolfo Provisional Director and Health Center.
It also landed when XAI is confronted with before the trial With Naacp, which states that Musk’s campaign violated the clean air with the use of turbines.
The Southern Environment Center is a Naacp, a CNBC statement said satellite image from July 1They showed that “at least 24 turbines are still on the XAI website, more than 15 authorized resolutions.” Earlier, the firm noticed 35 turbines installed at the facility with more than 15 operating at the same time.
In a statement by CNBC on Wednesday, XAI stated that Shelby’s decision was greeted by adding that “our electricity production at the site would be equipped with the latest emission control technologies, making this object the lowest radiation in the country.”
By buying X earlier this year, in an agreement, which, according to XAI, evaluated the united company of $ 80 billion, the startup Musk is seeking to build even more data processing near Kolas, while SEI provides turbines. This week, the company has raised a joint debt of $ 10 billion, according to Morgan Stanley, which led some financing.
XAI seeks to develop products that compete Google’s Gemini, Open CHATPT AI and other AI systems. Grok Chatbot, which operates on the Memphis supercompute, integrated in X.
Other Moscow companies benefit from Buildout Memphis Xai. According to financial applications from TeslaXAI spent “approximately $ 191.0 million during 2024 and $ 36.8 million by February 2025” on the purchase of Megapack products, which are gigant batteries or battery storage systems.
