AI Boom Drives Renewed Focus on Nuclear Energy

Rising energy demand from data centres, fueled by generative artificial intelligence, is bringing nuclear power back into focus as a reliable and large scale energy source. As AI technologies continue to expand, the need for stable and continuous power is increasing, prompting both startups and major technology companies to invest in nuclear energy solutions.

According to a 2025 Goldman Sachs report, data centre power demand is expected to grow by 160 percent by 2030. Nuclear energy is likely to play a crucial role in meeting this demand as part of the future energy mix. With its ability to provide consistent and low carbon power, nuclear energy is emerging as a key option to support the rapid growth of AI infrastructure.
