As the digital world continues to grow, so does the demand for sustainable infrastructure. From powering AI to delivering cloud services at scale, today’s data centers are consuming massive amounts of water—and it’s time to rethink how they operate.

As artificial intelligence accelerates at breakneck speed, infrastructure must evolve just as quickly. The January 2025 unveiling of DeepSeek—a next-gen AI model boasting 20x training efficiency—was hailed as a landmark moment. But beneath the headline lies a pressing challenge: today’s data centers aren’t ready for the exponential power, cooling, and scalability demands of AI at scale.

SANTA FE (Feb 25, 2025) – Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham announced a partnership with BorderPlex Digital Assets, LLC, that will position New Mexico as a leader in digital infrastructure to power the technology of tomorrow. This partnership will bring 1,000 jobs to New Mexico, drive renewed investment in digital infrastructure, and spur economic growth in the region. The announcement includes a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the State of New Mexico and BorderPlex Digital Assets.

Power demand from data centers is soaring as artificial intelligence grows more advanced. Here’s how to make sense of it all.

The race for AI dominance launched a stampede to connect to America’s vast electric grid. Plugging in, however, is likely to be easier said than done.
