Power electronics for AI data centers are rapidly advancing to meet increasingly complex workloads while improving energy efficiency.

Facebook’s parent company is building Minnesota’s first mega data center in Rosemount to house its fast-growing need for computing muscle. Amazon and Microsoft bought land for large data centers near Xcel Energy’s soon-retiring coal plant in Becker.
