Amid Green Energy Push, Data Centers Consider The Nuclear Option Unsplash
In Pennsylvania, Talen Energy will build a hyperscalecryptocurrency mining facility adjacent to its nuclear plant in Luzerne County, Data Center Dynamics reports.
Nearby in Ohio, cryptocurrency infrastructure operator Standard Power announced a deal to power its facilities with nuclear energy for the next five years. Between them, the two nuclear mining hubs will be able to house almost 200 megawatts of computing power comparable with the world’s largest data center campuses.
These projects reflect the growing appeal of nuclear power as a way to fulfill the seemingly insatiable power demand of cryptocurrency mining operations, which are essentially just data centers used to perform complex calculations that verify blockchain transactions and create digital currencies.
