Washington, D.C.—Statement from Maria Korsnick, president and chief executive officer of the Nuclear Energy Institute, on nuclear energy's potential to provide clean power to data centers:
"We are encouraged by the growing recognition of nuclear energy's immense potential to power data centers. Amazon's partnerships with X-Energy, Energy Northwest and Dominion Energy highlight a broader shift among leading technology companies toward investing in nuclear's unique ability to provide clean, 24/7/365 power – essential for supporting energy-intensive data center operations.
Other recently announced partnerships, such as those between Microsoft and Constellation, and Google and Kairos Power, further underscore the technology sector's increasing confidence in nuclear as a key solution for their long-term energy needs. These collaborations demonstrate a clear understanding that nuclear energy ensures a stable, clean energy supply that can meet rising energy demands while fulfilling sustainable energy commitments.
Looking ahead, the next-generation nuclear technologies that will emerge as a result of these investments will be integral in reaching our clean energy goals. We welcome these developments and the growing commitment to nuclear energy, which will play a pivotal role in shaping our clean energy future."
