NextEra Energy and Brookfield Plan $100 Billion Data Center Campus in Kentucky
NextEra Energy (NEE) and Brookfield Asset Management (BAM) have announced plans to develop a $100 billion data center campus in western Kentucky. The project will repurpose the former Cold War-era uranium enrichment facility at Paducah, transforming it into one of the largest data infrastructure developments globally. The initiative is expected to leverage NextEra’s renewable energy expertise and Brookfield's asset management capabilities to create a sustainable power solution for the high-demand computing facilities. The project could bring significant economic development to the region while addressing growing demand in cloud services and digital storage. This partnership highlights increasing investment trends toward large-scale data infrastructure, particularly as companies seek reliable locations with access to clean energy sources.
