Trinidad and Tobago signs memorandums of understanding with US companies for data centers and steel plant

Trinidad and Tobago signed memorandums of understanding with Hummingbird AI Holdings and Ernst and Young LLP to develop data centers of 150 MW and 300 MW respectively, and a third agreement with Pinnacle Steel and Vanadium Corporation regarding a local steel plant. The agreements, facilitated in part by the US government, are expected to generate over 5,000 jobs. Critics raised concerns about energy consumption, water use, and environmental impact.
