AI eyes Saudi after blow
Opposition among U.S. voters to AI data centers, driven by rising electricity and water bills and permitting restrictions, has stalled projects in states such as Texas, Georgia and Ohio—opening the door for Saudi Arabia to attract technology companies with its abundant energy and ready grid. xAI has partnered with HUMAIN to build a 500-megawatt data center, while HUMAIN plans to expand its capacity to 6 gigawatts by 2034. Saudi Arabia’s data center capacity rose from 68 megawatts in 2021 to 467 megawatts in the first quarter of 2026, as investment in digital infrastructure exceeded SAR 56.2 billion.
