UK Firm Plans Solar-Powered Data Centers Using Lampposts in Nigeria
A UK-based company, Conflow Power Group Limited, has signed an agreement to deploy 50,000 solar-powered lampposts in Nigeria, which will function as distributed AI data centers. These lampposts, equipped with NVIDIA chips, are designed to handle low-power AI tasks and provide a revenue stream by leasing processing power to AI companies. The initiative aims to utilize solar energy to power these data centers, reducing reliance on traditional energy sources and offering environmental benefits.
