谷歌在安得拉邦的150亿美元人工智能数据中心项目已获得州环境许可，批准容量为2.51吉瓦，比宣布的1吉瓦多出一倍以上，据《卫报》看到的许可文件显示。
Google’s $15bn AI datacentre project in Andhra Pradesh has state environmental clearance for 2.51GW of capacity, more than double the 1GW announced, according to clearance papers seen by the Guardian.
汉娜·埃利斯-彼得森和阿卡什·哈桑从塔鲁瓦达采写了此报道，该村是项目建设地之一。《卫报》称，2.51吉瓦大致相当于两座大型核反应堆的发电量，超过了该邦目前全年用电量的30%。
Hannah Ellis-Petersen and Aakash Hassan reported the story from Tarluvada, one of the villages where the project is being built. The Guardian said 2.51GW is roughly the output of two large nuclear reactors, and more than 30% of the state’s current yearly power use.
谷歌于2025年10月宣布建设维沙卡帕特南人工智能中心，合作伙伴包括阿达尼康尼克斯和巴蒂艾特尔。在回复《卫报》时，谷歌称其为吉瓦级中心，与其他项目规模相当。
Google announced the Visakhapatnam AI hub in October 2025, with partners AdaniConneX and Airtel. In its reply to the Guardian, Google called it a gigawatt-scale hub, comparable to other projects.
据《卫报》报道，州政府在九天内批准了该项目，且未举行公开听证会。此后，人权论坛已向印度国家绿色法庭提交了三份请愿书，另有一单独案件正在安得拉邦高等法院审理。
The state gave the green light in nine days, with no public hearing, the Guardian reported. The Human Rights Forum has since filed three petitions at India’s National Green Tribunal, and a separate case is before the Andhra Pradesh High Court.
该项目覆盖维沙卡帕特南周边三个地块。其中一个距离保护林、饮用水水库和野生动物保护区仅几米之遥。
The project covers three sites around Visakhapatnam. One is a few metres from a reserve forest, a drinking water reservoir and a wildlife sanctuary.
据《卫报》报道，在塔鲁瓦达，520个家庭最近被收回了政府约20年前分配给他们的土地。村民称，阿达尼集团的保安人员在4月竖起围栏，阻止他们耕种多年的地块。
In Tarluvada, 520 families recently had land taken back that the government had given them about 20 years ago, according to the Guardian. Villagers said security guards working for the Adani Group put up fences in April and blocked them from plots they had farmed for years.
在获得土地补偿的47名达利特农民中，一些人表示尚未收到承诺的新地块和工作。一位农民P·文卡特·拉奥称，他唯一的一英亩地获得了4万美元补偿，但如今失去了生计。“我是农民，没有土地我什么都不是，”拉奥对《卫报》说。
Some of the 47 Dalit farmers who were paid for their land said they have not yet got the new plots and jobs they were promised. One farmer, P Venkat Rao, said he received $40,000 for his only acre but now has no livelihood. “I am a farmer, without my land I am nothing,” Rao told the Guardian.
州政府表示，没有强行征地，符合条件者已获得丰厚补偿。阿达尼集团称所有法律审批均已到位。
The state government said no land was taken by force and that those who qualified were paid well. The Adani Group said all legal approvals were in place.
谷歌表示，该基地将采用风冷而非水冷，因此不会影响当地饮用水。公司还称预计不会对当地社区造成影响，并将在维沙卡帕特南周边创造数千个就业岗位。
Google said the site will be cooled by air, not water, so it will not affect local drinking water. It also said it expects no impact on the local community and will create thousands of jobs around Visakhapatnam.
与此同时，据《卫报》报道，该州为谷歌提供的税收减免以及廉价土地、电力和水资源，在20年内估计价值达2200亿卢比（约22亿美元）。
Meanwhile, the state’s tax breaks and cheap land, power and water for Google are estimated to be worth 220bn rupees ($2.2bn) over 20 years, the Guardian reported.
这场争议与美国及其他地区的数据中心抗议如出一辙。法庭请愿尚未裁决。
The dispute mirrors datacentre protests in the US and elsewhere. The tribunal petitions have not yet been decided.
