Trump Administration Makes Move To Build AI Infrastructure on Federal Lands
The Trump administration’s efforts to satisfy the United States’ need for artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure further advanced when the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE or department) issued an anticipated Request for Information (RFI) on siting AI infrastructure on DOE-owned or DOE-managed land assets in support of future competitive solicitations.
This RFI, issued on April 7, 2025, identifies 16 sites that may be suitable for AI infrastructure. In the RFI, DOE outlines an ambitious goal of seeking to enable construction of AI infrastructure on its lands by the end of 2025 and start operations at data center sites with co-located energy technologies by the end of 2027. Responses to the RFI are requested by May 7, 2025.
