- xAI Deploys Eight Converted Jet-Engine Turbines for Colossus 2
The New York Times, citing Mississippi state permits and satellite imagery, reported that xAI installed eight converted jet-engine turbines in Mississippi to help power its Colossus 2 data center in Memphis. ProEnergy refurbished the retired General Electric engines, which are commonly found on Boeing aircraft and were adapted to burn natural gas. Each turbine is reportedly capable of producing up to 50 megawatts. The deployment offers a faster source of power than waiting years for grid connections, which have placed some AI data centers in lengthy connection queues. The Southern Environmental Law Center has challenged Mississippi’s approval of the turbines over emissions concerns, including formaldehyde and projected emissions; the reports do not state the outcome of that challenge.
