GPU available but no electricity: Calls to ease AI data centre rules
Speakers at a forum on Jan. 9 called for regulatory easing and changes to South Korea’s power supply system to accelerate the spread of AI data centres. They said electricity demand is concentrated in the Seoul area while power generation is concentrated outside it, creating imbalances and a shortage of transmission lines. Proposals included attracting near-term projects outside the capital region, allowing direct power purchase agreements, cutting transmission fees, and expanding policy support to bridge timing gaps between data centre construction and grid expansion.

How much would a $1,000 XRP investment be worth in 10 years?
Interest is growing in what investing $1,000, $5,000 or $10,000 in XRP could yield over the next 10 years. XRP has remained among the top five cryptocurrencies by market value despite a prolonged legal dispute after the U.S. SEC sued Ripple in 2020. AI chatbot Grok set out a bullish 2036 scenario in which XRP rises from about $2.06 to $50, implying gains of more than 2,300 percent and lifting those investments to as much as $242,700.
