In 2040, California's High-Speed Rail project is envisioned as a dual-purpose infrastructure, serving both transportation and as an energy corridor for artificial intelligence companies. Data centers in the Central Valley are being powered by both the grid and clean energy generated from this rail project. Under Ian Choudri's leadership, efforts are underway to attract private investments as state funding becomes uncertain, particularly after federal cuts and ballooning costs. The project aims to link Los Angeles and San Francisco while addressing significant financial challenges through public-private partnerships.
The California High-Speed Rail Authority envisions the bullet train as an energy corridor, vital for supporting the state's AI sector and clean energy goals.
To support its funding strategy, the rail authority must secure a dedicated revenue stream from the state, alongside attracting private capital.
