DOE Site in Kentucky to be Revitalized with Data Center Campus
A coalition of energy, infrastructure and utility companies announced a strategic partnership to develop a data center campus at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Paducah Site in Western Kentucky. The $100 billion privately funded project repurposes land at the former enrichment site into a hub for innovation and energy generation. Once fully constructed in 2032, the campus will support up to 1.8 gigawatts (GW) of utility capacity and over 1.2 GW of compute capacity — backed by up to 4.6 GW of dedicated generation resources paid for and built specifically for the project, protecting customers from costs and fulfilling President Trump’s Ratepayer Protection Pledge. The partnership coalition includes Brookfield, NextEra Energy, Big Rivers Electric Power Corporation, Jackson Purchase Energy Cooperative and Paducah Power System.
