Westbank and PG&E Propose Net Zero Community in Downtown San Jose
Westbank and PG&E have announced a groundbreaking proposal for a net zero community in downtown San Jose. The project includes three data centers and approximately 4,000 residential units, combining AI infrastructure with housing development. PG&E will supply about 200 megawatts of energy to power the data centers, featuring an innovative district energy system that repurposes excess heat for neighboring buildings' heating and hot water needs.
The project, supported by San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan, aims to reduce carbon footprints and lower electricity costs for connected tenants. Plug and Play is set to be the first tenant with their AI Center of Excellence, which will include an accelerator, exhibition halls, and a learning center.

PG&E fornirà circa 200 megawatt di energia per alimentare i centri dati, caratterizzati da un innovativo sistema energetico distrettuale che riutilizza il calore in eccesso per il riscaldamento e le esigenze di acqua calda degli edifici vicini.
Il progetto, sostenuto dal sindaco di San Jose Matt Mahan, punta a ridurre le impronte di carbonio e abbattere i costi energetici per gli inquilini collegati. Plug and Play sarà il primo inquilino con il loro Centro di Eccellenza in Intelligenza Artificiale, che includerà un acceleratore, sale espositive e un centro di apprendimento.

웨스트뱅크와 PG&E는 산호세 도심에 탄소 배출 제로 커뮤니티를 위한 획기적인 제안서를 발표했습니다. 이 프로젝트는 세 개의 데이터 센터와 약 4,000개의 주거 단위를 포함하며, 인공지능 기반 인프라와 주거 개발을 결합합니다. PG&E는 데이터 센터에 전력을 공급하기 위해 약 200메가와트를 공급할 예정이며, 인근 건물의 난방 및 온수 수요를 위해 남은 열을 재활용하는 혁신적인 지역 에너지 시스템을 특징으로 합니다.
산호세 시장인 맷 마한이 지원하는 이 프로젝트는 탄소 발자국을 줄이고 연결된 세입자들의 전기 요금을 낮추는 것을 목표로 하고 있습니다. 플러그 앤 플레이는 인공지능 센터 오브 엑설런스를 통해 첫 번째 세입자가 될 것이며, 여기에는 액셀러레이터, 전시 홀, 학습 센터가 포함됩니다.

Le projet, soutenu par le maire de San Jose, Matt Mahan, vise à réduire l'empreinte carbone et à diminuer les coûts d'électricité pour les locataires connectés. Plug and Play sera le premier locataire avec leur Centre d'Excellence en IA, qui comprendra un accélérateur, des halls d'exposition et un centre d'apprentissage.
Westbank und PG&E haben einen wegweisenden Vorschlag für eine Gemeinschaft mit Netto-Null-Emissionen im Zentrum von San Jose angekündigt. Das Projekt umfasst drei Datenzentren und etwa 4.000 Wohneinheiten und kombiniert KI-Infrastruktur mit Wohnungsbau. PG&E wird etwa 200 Megawatt Energie zur Verfügung stellen, um die Datenzentren zu betreiben, die mit einem innovativen Stadtenergienetz ausgestattet sind, welches überschüssige Wärme für die Heiz- und Warmwasserbedarfe der angrenzenden Gebäude nutzt.
Das Projekt, das vom Bürgermeister von San Jose, Matt Mahan, unterstützt wird, zielt darauf ab, die CO2-Bilanzen zu reduzieren und die Stromkosten für angeschlossene Mieter zu senken. Plug and Play wird der erste Mieter sein mit ihrem KI-Exzellenzzentrum, das einen Accelerator, Ausstellungsräume und ein Lernzentrum umfasst.

Data Center Paired with Housing Development Meets City's Future Needs with Clean Energy Solution
The proposal would transform downtown
"
PG&E will power the area, delivering approximately 200 megawatts of energy for the three data centers. A district energy system will connect the data centers and surrounding community. The system allows excess heat from the data centers to be harnessed and repurposed to provide heating and hot water to neighboring buildings.
Using the excess heat, rather than letting it go to waste, reduces the investment needed to build out the electric, low-carbon system. Additional benefits include:
- More efficient use of the electricity powering the data centers.
- Lower electricity costs for tenants connected to the district energy system.
- Helping to reduce the carbon footprints of the buildings connected to the district energy system.
- Supporting more cost effective and sustainable future development in downtown
