SpaceX has delayed the complete removal of unpermitted gas turbines at xAI's Memphis data centers until July 2027 as it transitions to a 1.2 GW natural gas power plant. The turbines, which face legal challenges over environmental regulations, are part of a broader $2.8B turbine procurement plan, with the new plant's 41 turbines differing from the existing 69 units.

SpaceX is building a new power plant for xAI's Colossus data centers, but it won't remove existing, unpermitted turbines for many more months.
