Request for Information on Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure on DOE Lands

Office of Policy, Department of Energy.

Request for information (RFI).

The United States has long been at the forefront of artificial intelligence (AI) innovation. Maintaining that leadership is a key national and economic security priority. AI infrastructure including data centers is a critical component of the modern economy, enabling AI training and inference, scientific research, and a wide range of other essential services. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is exploring opportunities to leverage its land assets to support the growing demand for AI infrastructure. This aligns with the policy laid out in the executive order signed January 23, 2025, titled “Removing Barriers to American Leadership in Artificial Intelligence,” to sustain and enhance America's global AI dominance in order to promote human flourishing, economic competitiveness, and national security.

Responses to the RFI are requested by May 7, 2025.

Responses should be submitted electronically to [email protected] and include “Data Center RFI Response” in the subject line of the email. Any information that may be business proprietary and exempt by law from public disclosure should be submitted as described in Section VI of this document.
