Leading Era4's plan for a network of landfill-gas-powered AI data centers after the Canterbury approval

Canterbury City Council approved Era4's data center beside Shelford Landfill on October 15, with four votes in favor, three abstentions and one against. The 30.8m by 40.9m building is designed to draw most of its power from methane captured at the landfill, sent by private wire from the neighboring Valencia Energy Centre.
