為AI備妥能源！Alphabet斥資47.5億美元收購Intersect Power，繞過電網瓶頸
Google母公司Alphabet宣布斥資47.5億美元現金收購潔淨能源開發商Intersect Power，旨在為AI數據中心 확보專屬電力，繞過日益緊張的公用電網。
Google母公司Alphabet於週一（12月22日）宣布，已同意以現金`47.5億美元`外加承擔債務的方式，收購數據中心暨潔淨能源開發商Intersect Power。此舉旨在繞過地方電網瓶頸，為日益龐大的AI數據中心直接擴充電力來源。
隨著AI模型訓練對能源的需求呈指數級增長，確保穩定電力供應已成為科技巨頭的關鍵戰略。傳統地方公用事業公司正疲於應對AI產業的電力需求，Alphabet此番收購，意在將能源自主權牢牢掌握在自己手中，破局解困。
Alphabet先前已是Intersect Power的投資者。去年12月，Google與TPG Rise Climate共同領投了對該公司`8億美元`的戰略融資，取得少數股權。雙方當時的合作目標是到2030年，總投資額達到`200億美元`。
根據協議，此次收購範圍包括Intersect Power未來的開發項目，但不包含其現有營運業務，後者將由其他投資者收購並作為獨立公司管理。Intersect Power新建的「數據園區」毗鄰風力、太陽能和電池儲能設施，預計將於明年（2026年）底開始營運，並在`2027年`前全面建成。整筆交易預計在2026年上半年完成。
公司方面表示，Google將是這些園區的主要用戶，但其設計理念是開放式工業園區，未來也能託管其他公司的AI晶片。
