Yahoo gets go-ahead to build data center The New York Power Authority has approved a plan for Yahoo to build a data center in western New York that would cost upward of $150 million. Construction could begin as early this fall. Yahoo had to secure 10 megawatts of power just for the first phase of construction. Not expected to begin until 2012, the second phase would require another 5 megawatts. The data center, which will be built somewhere near Buffalo, is expected to create 125 high-tech jobs.
