Texas bouwt kernenergie- en gascentrale voor AI-vraag

Blue Energy and GE Vernova plan to build a 2.5-gigawatt hybrid power plant in Texas combining small modular nuclear reactors with natural gas turbines to meet growing electricity demand from artificial intelligence and manufacturing. The facility will use gas turbines to supply power starting around 2030, with nuclear capacity becoming operational by 2032, significantly reducing typical nuclear project timelines. Construction is expected to begin in 2026, with a final investment decision in 2027, using modular construction methods to lower costs and accelerate deployment.
