What’s happened here

  1. Jul 29, 2026 Award

    DOE awards Paducah to Brookfield and NextEra: 1.8 GW, 2 GW of new gas, over $100 billion

    Brookfield will develop and operate a 1.8 gigawatt AI and high-performance computing campus on the former uranium enrichment site in western Kentucky; NextEra Energy will build 2 gigawatts of gas generation and up to 2.6 gigawatts of storage. Construction is expected through 2031.

    The first federal site to get a developer, and the largest single announcement in the fight so far.
