It's 10:40am on the east coast of Australia - black coal in NSW has dropped below 1.7gw, and all forms of coal nationwide barely surpass 10gw combined (it would be lower but Victoria is having a very low RE morning).

auslaufen? selbst das frauenhofer sagt, dass 10gw als backup zu wenig

und die erdgassteuer zahlen dann die betreiber aus eigener tasche :)

☀️🌬️ China is building one of its biggest renewable energy bases in the Kubuqi Desert.

The project has a planned capacity of 10GW, combining large scale wind and solar generation across desert and barren land. ⚡

En dos años (2027 y 2028) creo que instalaremos 6GW y en los 2 siguientes (2029 y 2030) otros 10GW de baterias hasta llegar a los 16GW que marca el PNIEC.

Los datos de REE han incorporado autoconsumo fotovoltaico pero no han incorporado casi nada de almacenamiento detrás de contador (solo 5MW).

6 centrales nucléaires ça fait quoi? 10GW max?
En 2025 la chine a installé... 315GW de PV. Donc en supposant que le PV produit 5 fois moins à puissance égale, ça reste 6 fois plus de PV que de nucléaire.

z.b. gas-backup .. die ampel selbst wollte ü 20gw - wegen geldmangel auf 12gw abgespeckt -

das frauenhofer warnt, dass 10gw zu wenig sein könnten -

k.reiche wollte ebenfalls 20gw - nach e.u. maßregelung nur noch 11-12gw subv.

Claro, por eso más de 10GW de renovables se han habilitado para control dinámico de reactiva (tensión), incluso de noche

Y por eso 0GW de nuclear (cero) se han habilitado para lo mismo. Es que ni los propietarios lo han solicitado. Porque saben que no pueden, y así lo han reconocido

"why can't they use that to cure cancer" They already do drug discovery on exascale systems, consuming 150+ gpu years... resulting in nothing. A realistic & reasonable lower bound for estimates is ~1 billion gpu years, a casual 6666666.66667x more. 10GW systems are a drop in the ocean, 10TW's coming

Literally cry is a river. We need the water for the 10GW of data centres she wants to inflict on us.

E incluso sin cambio de color, por hacer creer poco juicioso prescindir de tanta potencia nuclear tan de golpe, quien sabe si por prescripción técnica de la misma REE que le está costando tanto prescindir del gas para control de reactiva, cuando hay más de 10GW de renovables habilitadas para hacerlo

100gw. Je vous ai partagé le lien. Ils prévoient 10gw soit moins que les suppressions de capacités charbon sur la même période.

On reste sur le trend de baisse de capacités fossiles.

Personalmente, yo creo que en 2026 vamos a meter otros 10GW de fotovoltaica. Eso pueden ser hasta 20.000 GWh/año adicionales si se acompañan de almacenamiento. Un 7,8% de la demanda eléctrica anual que ahora crece al 3,5% (asi que puede descarbonizar otro 4,3%)

Ah non vous avez avancé un chiffre et dès le début j'ai dit qu'il paraissait bizarre et que vous aviez du confondre 10GW et 100GW en vous partageant une source.

Je vous ai demandé à de multiples reprises la source des 100GW car ça m'intéresse.

GB already has 10 subsea interconnectors with >10GW capacity between our island and our 6 nearest neighbours* so the technical expertise to do this is well established and avoids the headaches of installing pylons.

10 years ago 10GW was max in UK, now it's 25GW, soon 25GW will be the norm., and storage needs to compensate, some of us don't want a technology where only 2 exist globally in electricity production currently, they will be 10 years in planning and construction, and have a millenia of waste legacy.

So? SMRs are designed to be built in quantity. If we can get nuclear up to say 10GW continuous output (HPC + SZC provide 6GW, SMRs the rest) that's good news. We need wind and nuclear and solar. It's not either/or.

eine rede,zum wohlwollen der demonstranten zugeschnitten, als könne man auf gas sofort verzichten wenn ..

aber sagt das zitierte frauenhofer nicht auch, dass es ohne gas/h2 nicht geht - und 10gw das minimum ..

10GW建設するぞ！とかそこら中で言ってて12000箇所もAIデータセンターあるのに104GWしかないと思わなかった。

I always thought that the energy numbers of 10gw or so being stated for these data centres were way too large for them to be economically feasible. The energy has to come from somewhere, it can't be all built anytime soon and is just more costs that has to be repaid somehow.

¿Acabarán siendo 10GW en 2026?

Five years ago CA had essentially no battery for on demand supply . Today 17GW. Next decade current plan is another 10GW. It can absolutely be accelerated. Solar currently at 50GW peak. Cheapest solution for expansion. At many temperatures it is more efficient to go gas->elec->heat than gas->heat.

If this is true, it makes me wonder what if that remaining 10GW is. How much actually runs core infrastructure and how much can Microsoft lease to itself to run ChatGPT/copilot? Is this part of why services on Azure go down so frequently now, they get resource-constrained?

The problem that Broadcom faces is that its largest customers (direct or by proxy) are now Anthropic and OpenAI, neither of whom can afford the chips. This means that someone - Broadcom, Microsoft or Google - has to finance them.
www.wheresyoured.at/premium-the-...
I’d argue that none of this was quite as much of a problem when it was just Google buying TPUs from Broadcom, except even then, you can see how the surge of AI semiconductor revenues only really began when the AI bubble inflated, and only got dramatic in the last three or four quarters. And that only happened because of Google’s relationship with Anthropic. That aforementioned deal for “gigawatts” of TPU capacity amounted to, per The Information, around $200 billion in spending commitments, which included a non-specific amount of spend on both compute and chips. Yet before I dig into that deal, we should talk about OpenAI’s relationship with Broadcom. Despite rumours since late 2024 and a completely fictional announcement that they’d build 10GW of capacity together, OpenAI and Broadcom only announced their “Jalapeno” chip in June 2026, with an unclear timeline as to when it might actually appear in a data center. So, why did it take nine months or so for Broadcom and OpenAI to actually move forward? Well… Per The Information on May 7, 2026, OpenAI and Broadcom’s “10GW deal” hit a major snag — “they hadn’t figured out how OpenAI would pay for the project.” Months later, the companies are negotiating an agreement for Broadcom to finance the first phase of chip production, which would consume 1.3 GW of data center capacity and would cost around $18 billion, according to an internal memo and two people involved in the talks. At that rate, the full 10 GW program, code-named Nexus, could cost $180 billion in chip production alone before factoring in data center construction and other costs. …but the negotiations have run into a potential problem. Broadcom has said it would finance the first phase only if Microsoft agrees to buy roughly 40% of the chips, an OpenAI executive told colleagues in a memo last month. Microsoft would install the chips in its data centers and then rent them back to OpenAI. You see, Broadcom has now developed a nasty habit of becoming its customers’ financier, and while “finance” could mean “out of cashflow,” it’s increasingly looking like the answer is more and more debt.
