The rapid growth of artificial intelligence (AI) services has significantly increased electricity demand in data centers, intensifying grid congestion and land-use constraints in metropolitan regions. This paper proposes an offshore energy concept that integrates Underwater Data Centers (UDC) with Underwater Photovoltaics (UWPV) to improve cooling efficiency and enable localized use of renewable energy. UDC reduces cooling loads by utilizing the high heat capacity of seawater, whereas UWPV allows photovoltaic deployment in submerged environments with enhanced thermal stability and spatial utilization. A simplified scenario analysis for a 25 MW-scale facility indicated reduced annual electricity consumption compared with conventional onshore systems. When partially powered by marine renewables, additional reductions in the transmission losses and indirect carbon emissions are achievable. This study highlighted the technical feasibility of combining marine cooling and photovoltaics generation to reduce grid dependence and enhance the energy sustainability of data centers.
