Israel is becoming an AI powerhouse – but the electricity grid may suffer from a large load

According to him, in an era where artificial intelligence defines a competitive and security advantage, the ability to produce local, reliable and safe computing power is a clear national interest. “Nevertheless, the market faces substantial challenges, and the more the state cooperates with the entrepreneurs to lower the barriers – the better it will be for everyone in terms of the technological and economic contribution to the State of Israel.”

“Furthermore, an entrepreneur who postpones the promotion of his server farm for the next few years may be harmed because the competition is for hyperscale consumers, such as Amazon, Microsoft and Google, and the server farms that reach the market first will gain an advantage. It was stated in the decision that priority will be given to requests that include a means of generating electricity for the server farm. In light of this, we expect to soon see more connections between server farm entrepreneurs and energy companies, such as the agreement between Dalia, Serverpharm and Tashi as well as the agreement between Ampa and Doral”.
