xAI Secures Permit To Build Power Plant

Mississippi regulators on Tuesday authorized xAI to construct a power plant with 41 natural gas turbines in Southaven to power nearby data centers. The decision follows months of temporary turbine use and drew opposition from the NAACP and the Southern Environmental Law Center, which allege underreported emissions and plan to sue. The permit advances xAI’s regional infrastructure plans amid community health concerns.
