Micro-nuclear technology developer Last Energy has announced plans to build 30 microreactors in Haskell County, Texas. The initiative aims to serve data centre customers across the state, addressing the increasing power demand.

The nuclear startup's plans are in response to overwhelming demand from Texas-based data center developers over the last year.

Last Energy plans to plant 30 micronuclear facilities in Haskell County, as energy companies move to address the voracious power needs of data centers

Legislation from Texas to Georgia could impose fees and rules to safeguard the electric grid and keep a lid on household utility bills.

NRG Energy, a Houston-based power generation giant, plans to build four new natural gas power plants to supply data centers in Texas and elsewhere, according to a Wednesday announcement. It’s the latest initiative from energy companies rushing to supply electricity to power-hungry data centers,

Demand on the Texas power grid is expected to expand so immensely that it would take the equivalent of adding 30 nuclear plants’ worth of electricity by 2030 to meet the needs.

Last Energy’s ambitious 600MW project aims to sidestep grid constraints and fast-track nuclear deployment—and it's suing the government to go faster.
