Standard Power, a data center operator that provides colocation for AI training and blockchain mining, is planning to deploy up to two dozen small modular reactors (SMR) to power data center campuses in Ohio and Pennsylvania, the company has announced.
The two data campuses will use reactors built by ENTRA1, an energy development and production company, which will use SMR technology from NuScale Power Corp., which this year became the first company to have an SMR design approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Up to 24 modular reactors will be deployed at the two data center hubs, capable of generating nearly 2 gigawatts of power. Similar in scale to the nuclear reactors that are used by the US Navy to power subs and aircraft carriers, each of the pressurized water SMR units can generate 77 megawatts of electricity.
