The tech giant cited investments in gas-fired projects to support its expanding data centers. This move highlights challenges in powering AI operations with reliable and consistent energy. Other tech firms like Google and Microsoft also face similar energy demands and constraints. Meta has withdrawn from the RE100 initiative after investing in new gas power plants.
