JERA, a Japanese electricity supplier, along with Dell Technologies Inc. and Rhaelm Holdings Ltd., announced plans to invest 15 billion dollars in constructing a large data center for artificial intelligence near Tokyo. The data center will be built on the site of a thermal power station in Chiba, a city close to Tokyo, and is expected to be operational by 2028.
The center will have a power capacity of up to 400,000 kilowatts, making it one of the largest data centers in Japan. By placing the data center within the power plant and drawing energy directly from it, the need for extensive power transmission infrastructure will be eliminated, allowing the project to commence more swiftly than traditional setups.
This partnership, signed on Thursday, is the first step in a collaborative effort to enhance AI infrastructure, with JERA, Dell Technologies, and Rhaelm Holdings Ltd. as key stakeholders.
