AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Underwater AI Data Center: An East Coast firm is proposing a 100-megawatt underwater AI data center in Alaska’s Cook Inlet, using tidal power and subsea cooling—an early test of whether “Project Natick”-style ideas can scale in the U.S. Maine Housing Tech: U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright visited Lincoln’s Form Energy site, where a long-duration iron-air battery could store and discharge enough power for 60,000+ homes; meanwhile, UMaine’s BioHome3D is set to produce 9 wood-sawmill-waste 3D-printed homes for homelessness in the Bangor area. STEM for Kids: Challenger Learning Center of Maine held its “Blast Off Bash,” letting families build and launch model rockets. Cyber-Resilient Power: UMaine researchers are using AI to help electric grids withstand cyberattacks, equipment failures, and extreme weather. Wildlife Research: UMaine-led work found American woodcocks defending nests from deer, and a UMaine Sea Grant internship is tracking Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon movements in Maine rivers. Public Health Watch: Cyclospora cases appear to be trending down nationally, but Maine residents are still urged to be cautious with fresh produce. Local Housing Numbers: Androscoggin County ranked No. 1 in Maine for 811/PRAC assisted units (50) and No. 2 for both Section 8 project-based units (1,199) and Housing Choice Vouchers (2,244) in 2025.
