How Meta plans to cut down on water use at its massive Alberta data centre
✦AI Summary
Meta is building a massive AI data center in Alberta, Canada, which will utilize a closed-loop cooling system to minimize water consumption. This design avoids the high water usage typical of evaporative cooling systems by using a coolant fluid to dissipate heat through external fans.
The tech behemoth was announcing a $13-billion-plus investment in a complex the size of 33 Canadian Football League fields. It will be powered by a new natural gas plant that could eventually produce more electricity than what the City of Edmonton uses.
