Instead of building data centres in metropolitan areas and drawing power across congested transmission lines, WinDC deploys modular, high-density compute directly at solar, wind or hydro generation sites. This approach addresses one of the country’s most critical energy challenges: renewable curtailment. AEMO forecasts that hypothetical new solar farms in Victoria and South Australia could face curtailment rates of up to 65 per cent by 2027, while existing solar farms already average 4.5 per cent. This wasted energy represents billions of dollars of lost value and a major opportunity for sovereign AI capability.","length":706,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"By integrating Megaport’s private, high-speed global connectivity fabric, WinDC customers can run AI workloads behind the meter on renewable power while maintaining secure, low-latency links to cloud providers, enterprise networks and international markets.","length":257,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":""WinDC is addressing an urgent and legitimate ga...
