The request focuses on identifying opportunities for the U.S. government to improve data centers’ market development, supply chain resilience, and data security.
In a notice published on Wednesday in the Federal Register, the NTIA-DOE request follows the DOE’s mission to enhance America’s security and prosperity by tackling energy challenges with innovative science and technology solutions. Given the significant energy needs of data centers, DOE has a strong interest in understanding and supporting growth in the data center sector. DOE may use the request responses to inform the development of strategies, programs, and other actions to support the deployment of technologies and solutions to address data center energy needs.
NTIA will rely on these comments,…
