MetaPlatforms has filed an application with US federal regulators to enter the wholesale electricity market to sell electricity. Securing more power has become an increasingly pressing challenge for big tech companies such as Meta, Microsoft and Google, all of which are racing to develop more advanced artificial intelligence systems and tools that are notoriously resource intensive. Demand for power from data centres used to build and run artificial intelligence models is expected to quadruple in the next decade, according to agency forecasts. Meta submitted the application through its subsidiary Atem Energy LLC. A Meta representative said participating in the energy market was a logical step for the company.
