能源部宣布逾1000亿美元Paducah能源枢纽计划：前铀浓缩厂址将建1.8吉瓦SI数据中心园区
Paducah——美国能源部（DOE）10月19日宣布，与 Brookfield、NextEra Energy、Big Rivers Electric Power Corporation、Jackson Purchase Energy Cooperative 及 Paducah Power System 达成合作，将能源部位于肯塔基州西部的 Paducah 场址部分区域改造为数据中心园区，并配套新建设施。这项总额超过1,000亿美元、由私人资金投入的项目，是肯塔基州历史上最大的投资之一，预计创造约8,000个建筑岗位、600个岗位。根据计划，NextEra Energy 将新建2吉瓦并网天然气发电、升级输电基础设施，并部署最高2.6吉瓦电池储能，以支持一座1.8吉瓦的超级智能与高性能计算（HPC）创新园区。能源部长 Chris Wright 在声明中说，联邦政府正利用联邦土地等资产增加发电、创造就业，并确保美国赢得SI竞赛；项目发电与储能容量将超过园区需求，多余电力可输送至区域电网，降低家庭与企业电费。能源部称，该场址原为铀浓缩设施，仍在进行环境清理，具备现成输电容量、水利设施、光纤连接与可用土地。经2025年11月征求报价，Brookfield 被选定开发和运营园区，NextEra Energy 负责建设并拥有配套能源基础设施；供电协议仍须州公共服务委员会批准。工程预计于2031年完工。
Energy Department Announces $100 Billion Paducah Energy Hub: 1.8-Gigawatt SI Campus Planned at Former Uranium Site
Paducah — The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced on October 19 a landmark partnership with Brookfield, NextEra Energy, Big Rivers Electric Power Corporation, Jackson Purchase Energy Cooperative and Paducah Power System to redevelop portions of DOE's Paducah Site in western Kentucky into a data center campus accompanied by new energy infrastructure. The more than $100 billion privately funded investment, one of the largest in Kentucky's history, is expected to create approximately 8,000 construction jobs and 600 permanent jobs. Under the plan, NextEra Energy will develop 2 gigawatts of new grid-connected natural gas-fired generation at or near the campus, upgrade existing transmission infrastructure, and deploy up to 2.6 gigawatts of battery energy storage to support a new 1.8-gigawatt super intelligence and high-performance computing (HPC) innovation campus. "The U.S. government is leveraging its assets — like our federal lands — to add power generation, create jobs, and ensure the United States wins the AI race," Secretary of Energy Chris Wright said, adding that generation and storage capacity would exceed the campus's needs so excess electricity can be delivered to the regional grid, helping reduce energy costs for families and businesses. DOE said the Paducah Site, a former uranium enrichment facility still undergoing environmental cleanup, has existing transmission capacity, water infrastructure, fiber connectivity and available land. Following a request for offers issued in November 2025, Brookfield was selected to develop and operate the data center campus and NextEra Energy to build and own the dedicated energy infrastructure; the power service agreement remains subject to approval by the Kentucky Public Service Commission. Construction is expected to be completed in 2031.
