Brookfield, NextEra to build $100B AI campus at former DOE site

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Brookfield and NextEra Energy are partnering to develop a massive AI data center campus on the site of a former US Department of Energy uranium enrichment facility in Paducah. The project, valued at $100 billion, aims to provide over 1.2 GW of AI compute capacity, supported by dedicated natural gas and battery storage power generation. This initiative is designed to meet the growing demand for AI infrastructure without burdening existing utility customers, with the data center campus funding its own power infrastructure. AI

IMPACT This project signals a trend towards dedicated power infrastructure for AI campuses, potentially accelerating AI development by ensuring reliable energy supply.
