Two years ago we started building @Halcyon because we believed that modern AI could fundamentally change how the energy industry accesses and uses information ⚡️
New Texas data center power plant just filed:
400MW, 6x50MW turbines and 40x2.5MW engines, behind the meter for @EdgeConneX.
Always read the fine print, or in this case, emails between developer and @TCEQ

What speed to power is worth. New @FERC: QTS Data Centers is paying ITC Transmission $55 million to accelerate construction of a transmission line needed for its Cedar Rapids site by four months, from September 2027 to May 2027 (via @halcyon)
NEW: Dario Amodei only has one direct report, his chief of staff. The rest of the company, including the exec team, reports to Daniela who manages the day-to-day.

Your inbox shouldn't be your regulatory tracker.
Halcyon Alerts monitor 7.2M documents across 71 agencies and surface only what matters — curated by topic, filtered by filing type.
The full playbook from @StineStearn in link below👇
So @FermiAmerica has amended its TX air permit for its 6GW data center power project. Ditching 36 Siemens SGT-800 turbines, remaining 54 to be combined cycle-ready, and add three Siemens SGT6-5000F, run simple cycle at first, then combined cycle
Data Centers // Meta // Ohio // Gas-fired power
Will-Power Ohio is building a 350-514 megawatt generation complex for the nearby Meta Apollo data center in Wood County. The plant received its Permit-to-Install for 21 gas turbines and six natural gas-fired engines. Permit-to-Install.

people are worried about how ai is using up all the water, but it’s actually the only way that we can stop sea level rise. also water is stored in the ai model only during training. when you use the model, the water is released again.
Signs you might be trying to get your frontier AI lab nationalized:
You compare it to nukes… threaten half of white-collar jobs… warn recursive self-improvement could end humanity… then race ahead anyway.
In other words, you want the government to save us from… you.
Up to $850 billion is being invested in U.S. power and digital infrastructure this year alone. State public utility commissions are generating more filings than ever. Every RTO/ISO, and federal energy agency is producing documents that matter. The information is all public. Almost none of it is manageable.
