Brookfield and Drax plan AI data center project in the UK with investment potentially topping $26.8 billion

Drax Group has signed an agreement with Brookfield and Brookfield’s neocloud platform Radiant to jointly develop an artificial intelligence data center at the Drax power station site in North Yorkshire, England. The first phase targets 100 megawatts of capacity by the first quarter of 2028. The partners then plan to add another 500 megawatts between 2028 and 2031, with the site ultimately aiming for more than 1 gigawatt of capacity. Brookfield estimates total investment, including semiconductors, could exceed £20 billion, or about $26.8 billion. Initial investment for the first phase is set at £2.5 billion. Following the announcement, shares of London-listed Drax rose 8.2% in early trading. CNBC was cited as the source for the report.

Radiant picked by U.S. Navy to power critical infrastructure with Kaleidos microreactor

The U.S. Navy has selected Radiant to deploy its Kaleidos microreactor at Naval Support Activity Crane in Indiana to supply power for critical infrastructure, according to ABMedia. The project centers on a 1-megawatt mobile microreactor built with a factory-fabricated design that can be transported by land, sea, or air and deployed on site. Radiant says the unit is plug-and-play, does not require cooling water, large-scale excavation, or major on-site construction, and can operate independently from the grid. Over a 20-year service life, each refueling is expected to provide up to five years of electricity. The report says the deal makes Radiant the only nuclear energy company working with the U.S. Navy, Army, and Air Force at the same time. Kaleidos is also undergoing testing at the DOME facility at Idaho National Laboratory, where the U.S. Department of Energy granted Radiant one year of exclusive access after a competitive process. The testing includes full-scale, full-power, and long-duration reactor trials using the same design intended for customer deployment. Navy and Army officials said the project still must pass design, prototype, environmental, site preparation, and regulatory stages before formal deployment.
