The partners claim this collaboration could provide enough energy to power the equivalent of approximately 60 new data centers as artificial intelligence (AI) drives unprecedented growth in electricity demand.
The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) has signed an agreement with ENTRA1 Energy (ENTRA1), which plans to develop up to six gigawatts (GW) of nuclear power generation in TVA’s seven-state service territory.
ENTRA1 is a strategic partner of NuScale Power, a small modular reactor (SMR) developer.
ENTRA1 would drive the deployment, financing, investment, development, execution and management of ‘ENTRA1 Energy Plants’ that have NuScale’s SMRs inside.
ENTRA1 aims to develop and own six ENTRA1 energy plants and sell the output to TVA under power purchase agreements (PPAs).
The partners claim this collaboration could provide enough energy to power the equivalent of approximately 60 new data centers at a time when artificial intelligence (AI) and other e n e r g y – i n t e n s i v e technologies are driving unprecedented growth in electricity demand.
