Is Nuclear Capacity Ideal for Data Centers in the U.S.?

Baseload nuclear power often goes underappreciated, according to nuclear operators. However, the increasing demand for electricity from hyperscale data centers, such as the one located near the Susquehanna plant in northeastern Pennsylvania, is changing the perspective on clean and reliable energy sources. As these data centers process vast amounts of digital information, the need for stable and consistent power supply is becoming more apparent. This shift in demand is highlighting the value of baseload nuclear generation, which can provide the necessary capacity without compromising on cleanliness or reliability. In a world where digital connectivity is essential, the role of nuclear power in meeting the increasing electricity demand is gaining recognition.
