US to get 30 nuclear microreactors to generate clean energy for data centers

Last Energy plans to construct 30 nuclear microreactors in Haskell County, Texas, to power data centers statewide. The company's PWR-20 reactors, designed for mass production and flexible siting, will address growing energy demands. Texas currently has over 340 data centers consuming 8 gigawatts, with demand expected to rise. The project supports Texas' goal of becoming an advanced nuclear energy leader while meeting increasing electricity needs due to population growth and data center expansion.
