Federal Government Converts Kentucky Uranium Plant into AI Data Center and Gas Power Complex
The U.S. Department of Energy is transforming the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Kentucky into a $100 billion AI data center complex, including a new natural gas and battery storage power plant. This initiative is part of a broader effort to leverage artificial intelligence for national security and economic growth. Brookfield Asset Management has been selected to develop and operate the data center, with NextEra Energy building the power generation components. The project aims to create thousands of jobs and significant investment in rural Kentucky, aligning with the Trump administration's focus on AI superiority over China.
