Teravolt proposes repurposing bitcoin farms for AI power supply
- —Teravolt estimates a 240 GW AI energy deficit by 2036
- —An AI data center yields $450–900 per MWh versus $170–190 for an aluminum plant
- —Building a data center takes 1–3 years, while a new power grid takes 5–15 years
- —Interest is focused on Eastern and Southern Europe due to cheap brownfield sites
Why it matters: AI growth could intensify competition for electricity and push bitcoin mining off cheap energy sites.
