“Beijing is moving to make green electricity usage a key metric in the operation of new data centre projects, as part of a major push to align the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence with national carbon goals, according to an action plan released Friday.”
SINGLE SOURCE
While web search results mention a plan to integrate AI with energy, the specific detail about 'green electricity usage' being a 'key metric' for 'new data centre projects' released on a 'Friday' is only explicitly detailed in one specific search result snippet that mirrors the claim's phrasing. Other results are too general to provide corroboration.
