   US Energy Dept. announces $100B AI data center campus on former Kentucky uranium site

   The US Department of Energy announced a $100 billion private investment plan to convert a Cold War-era uranium enrichment site in western Kentucky into a large AI and high-performance computing campus. According to Sina Finance, Brookfield Asset Management will build a 1.8 GW data center campus, while NextEra Energy will develop 2 GW of natural gas generation plus 2.6 GW of battery storage alongside it. Construction is planned in phases through 2032 and is expected to create roughly 8,000 construction jobs and 600 permanent operating jobs, though financing costs, power supply and permitting are cited as the sector's main constraints.

   Google signs 20-year nuclear PPA with Constellation to add 890 MW for AI data centers

   Google has signed a 20-year power purchase agreement with Constellation Energy, acting as anchor customer for more than $4.3 billion of upgrades to 11 nuclear units across Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey that are expected to add 890 MW of new capacity to the PJM grid, with the first uprate due by 2028 and the full amount targeted before the end of 2032. The companies also signed a separate 15-year energy supply agreement covering 2,700 MW of Constellation's existing PJM generation, plus a five-year technology deal under which Constellation will expand its use of Google Cloud and Gemini Enterprise. Google ties the projects to rising electricity demand from its AI data centers; the article cites IEA projections of nearly 2% annual US demand growth through 2030, with data centers accounting for about half of the increase.
