As Korea confirmed a natural gas-fired combined-cycle power plant in Encinal, Texas, will be the first project under its $200 billion strategic investment commitment to the United States, power purchase agreements (PPAs) with potential power buyers are emerging as a key factor in determining the project’s commercial viability. In a National Assembly briefing on Tuesday, Industry Minister Kim Jung-kwan said the project will be worth $22.3 billion, with planned generating capacity reaching 6.3 gigawatts. The project will initially build a 1.4-gigawatt gas turbine power plant to assess actual demand and economic viability, before gradually expanding it with 4.9 gigawatts of more efficient combined-cycle generation capacity. The project will be funded entirely by Korea, while ownership will be split equally between Seoul and Washington. Electricity generated from the plant is expected to power artificial intelligence (AI) data centers in the region. In selecting the gas plant as the first project, the government considered “commercial reasonableness,” stipulated as a key condition in

A scam rarely begins with a dramatic breach. More often, it starts with something ordinary: a Facebook page selling discounted skincare, an Instagram post promising easy investment gains, or a message from a group that claims to have found a way to beat the market. By the time victims realise what has happened, the people […] The post Meta, Singapore Police disrupt 3.7M scam-linked assets across Facebook and Instagram appeared first on e27.

Wall Street finished near record highs on 23 September 2026. Asian equities extended gains. A technology rebound and falling oil prices supported the positive tone.

I recently presented at LEAP in Saudi Arabia, where I spent several days talking with founders, startup teams and people building businesses around emerging technology. Unsurprisingly, AI was everywhere. Much of the conversation centred on what AI could help people do faster: research that once took hours could be summarised in minutes, first drafts could […] The post Your startup has an AI strategy.

For decades, the semiconductor industry has relied on one basic bargain: make silicon transistors smaller, and chips become faster, cheaper and more power-efficient. That bargain is getting harder to keep. As AI models grow larger and data centres consume more electricity, chipmakers are running into a materials problem. Silicon, the foundation of modern computing, can […] The post Nexstrom lands US$12M to bring 2D semiconductors to 12-inch wafers appeared first on e27.
