Last Energy, a startup backed by a fund associated with Elon Musk, is set to build 30 microreactors in Texas, aiming to supply 600 megawatts of electricity mainly for data centers. This project, expected to contribute significantly to Last Energy's commercial initiatives in the U.S., faces regulatory hurdles despite a promising delivery timeline of 24 months post-construction commencement. The move reflects a broader trend where U.S. tech firms are increasingly investing in nuclear energy to accommodate surging electricity demands driven by AI and data centers, promoting a decentralized power generation model that mitigates network strain.
By powering data centers on-site, "behind the meter,"... the plants could help sidestep the restraints and price volatility of a grid that's already stretched thin.
Texas is America's undisputed energy leader... but our solution-plug-and-play microreactors, designed for scalability and siting flexibility-is the best way to meet it quickly.
