NextEra Energy and Brookfield are teaming up on a major redevelopment project in Kentucky that would turn a long-shuttered uranium-enrichment facility into a large data center campus. The plan is valued at more than $100 billion, making it one of the biggest projects tied to the fast-growing demand for computing infrastructure.
According to the report, the site dates back to the Cold War era and has been out of use. Under the new proposal, the property would be repurposed for data center development and paired with a generating plant, linking digital infrastructure with dedicated power capacity.
The project highlights how power companies, investors and infrastructure groups are moving to capitalize on rising demand from data centers. As artificial intelligence, cloud services and other high-intensity computing needs expand, access to large sites with reliable electricity has become a central part of new development plans.
For Kentucky, the proposal points to a possible transformation of an industrial legacy site into a new energy-and-technology hub. While further details were not included in the trimmed report, the scale of the investment underscores the growing overlap between utility companies, real estate redevelopment and the data center boom.
