Nuclear-powered datacenter will throw open doors to tenants this year
US-based Cumulus Data says it is constructing a datacenter campus adjacent to a nuclear power station in order to directly obtain low-cost, zero-carbon energy for prospective tenants.is a subsidiary of Talen Energy, the power company that operates the nuclear plant at the Berwick site in northeast Pennsylvania.
Touted as the first facility of its kind in the US, datacenters at the campus will be directly connected to the 2.5 gigawatt Susquehanna power plant"without intermediation by legacy electric transmission and distribution utilities," which the company claims will allow it to offer the most attractive energy rates in the country.
Hernandez claimed the special arrangement at Susquehanna would help to solve the energy"trilemma" which Cumulus defines as the rapidly increasing consumer demand for zero-carbon, low-cost, and reliable electricity by datacenter customers. Connecting a datacenter directly to a nuclear power plant may sound bizarre, but carbon footprints and spiraling energy costs are two factors that are increasingly of concern to organizations operating a lot of datacenter infrastructure, and nuclear offers a reliable zero-carbon energy supply.
