Trinidad and Tobago signs agreements with US companies that pave the way for data centers
The agreements could create over 5,000 jobs and include plans for a 300 megawatt data center and a 150 MW AI facility.
- On Friday, Trinidad and Tobago Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar signed memorandums with Florida-headquartered Hummingbird AI Holdings and New York-based Ernst and Young LLP to develop large-scale data centers and rejuvenate local industry.
- The Government facilitated these agreements, which represent the first such data center partnerships with a Caribbean country, as officials expect the three initiatives to generate over 5,000 jobs.
- Hummingbird Holdings proposed a 150 MW AI infrastructure facility, while Ernst and Young LLP plans to partner on a 300 MW data center; Pinnacle Steel and Vanadium Corporation targets steel-plant redevelopment.
- Renowned social activist Dr. Wayne Kublalsingh told The Associated Press he is concerned about energy consumption, arguing the Government is "trying to present something which looks like development, but which is not development."
- Data centers could account for nearly 3% of global electricity use by 2030, raising concerns that large, water-intensive facilities will strain Trinidad and Tobago's chronic water shortages and existing grid capacity.
