Aikido Technologies, a California floating-wind developer, unveiled plans Tuesday to house 10–12 megawatts of AI compute inside ballast tanks of its turbine platforms alongside 15–18 megawatt turbines and integrated battery storage, and to test a 100-kilowatt prototype off Norway by year-end. The design embeds 3–4 megawatt data halls using passive seawater cooling to cut grid strain and emissions amid U.S. data centers' 183 TWh 2024 consumption, though technical and regulatory hurdles remain.
