It does not appear that Memphis Light, Gas and Water will give Elon Musk's xAI a meaningful amount of electricity for the company's second Memphis data center. MLGW CEO Doug McGowen said that MLGW will not be providing more than a small amount of power to xAI and that the Tennessee Valley Authority may not provide a lot either. Ursula Madden, the utility's vice president of communications, also discussed the utility's efforts to raise money for utility assistance.
