The US Department of Energy (DoE) has announced a $100 billion private investment to turn a former uranium enrichment site in Western Kentucky into the Paducah American Energy Hub. Led by energy secretary Chris Wright, the project will house an artificial intelligence and high-performance computing campus. Brookfield Asset Management will build the 1.8-gigawatt (GW) data centre campus. NextEra Energy will develop 2GW of gas-fired generation and 2.6GW of battery storage, with surplus power fed back to the regional grid. The phased buildout is targeted for 2032. It is expected to create about 8,000 construction jobs and 600 permanent jobs. The project arrives as investors grow wary of AI infrastructure spending, and Gallup polling shows about 71% of Americans oppose local data centres.
