Fred Thiel, CEO of <a href="https://ultramining.com/news/en/marathon-digital-to-boost-energy-efficiency-with-s19-xp-miners/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Marathon</a> Digital Holdings, one of the world's largest <a href="https://ultramining.com/news/en/blockstream-aims-for-bitcoin-profit-with-mining-rig-investment-ahead-of-2024-halving/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">mining companies</a>, has predicted rapid innovation and revolutionary changes in energy markets, driven by the growth of artificial intelligence (AI) and <a href="https://ultramining.com/news/en/crypto-miners-shift-gears-ai-is-the-new-gold-rush/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">data centers</a>. He stated that AI and data center companies are becoming the largest financial backers of new energy generation projects.
Thiel noted that data centers are aiding the revival of old nuclear power plants. He cited the example of plans to restart the Three Mile Island nuclear plant in Pennsylvania, expected to come online in 2028 to power Microsoft's AI data centers. This indicates that major tech companies are actively investing in energy infrastructure.
According to Thiel, data center operators will seek energy self-sovereignty, significantly impacting energy markets and benefiting all consumers. Marathon Digital, with mining capacities exceeding 23 EH/s, continues to invest in infrastructure development and the implementation of new technologies.
