Hussain Sajwani, owner of DAMAC Properties, said his company will invest 20 billion to build data centers across the U.S. in a press conference hosted by President-elect Trump at Mar-a-Lago on Jan. 7, 2025.

In many cases, the existing power grid cannot keep up. One innovative solution is gaining traction: repurposed EV batteries for AI data centers.
