Municipal Data and Power Plans $90 Billion Green Energy Bond for New York AI Infrastructure
Municipal Data and Power announced in a press release that it is preparing to launch the New York State Data and Power Sovereignty Initiative, anchored by a planned $90 billion Green Energy Bond. The initiative aims to establish New York as a center for artificial intelligence, energy, and digital infrastructure through public ownership and local economic participation.
The proposed bond would allocate approximately $30 billion each to AI data centers and digital infrastructure, advanced micro-power grids, and statewide infrastructure, housing, and economic development. The company said the framework is structured to preserve municipal and state ownership while generating recurring revenue for local communities.
Municipal Data and Power plans to work with local and state leaders to deploy a network of micro-power grids and modernized utilities to support AI infrastructure without increasing strain on existing power systems. The initiative includes a Special Industrial District model that separates high-capacity industrial energy demand from residential and commercial grids.
Within New York City, the company proposes $1 billion per borough for redevelopment, workforce housing, and local economic projects, including support for the Harlem Renaissance District Initiative. Other counties across the state could receive allocations from $100 million to $1 billion based on population and infrastructure readiness.
The company is seeking partners including infrastructure investors, lenders, engineering firms, and technology providers to participate in the initiative. It also plans to issue requests for proposals for cities and states to host future micro-power grid manufacturing and energy infrastructure sites.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?
Tensordyne
This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
