The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced a landmark partnership with Brookfield, NextEra Energy, Big Rivers Electric Power Corporation, Jackson Purchase Energy Cooperative, and Paducah Power System to redevelop portions of DOE’s Paducah Site into a data center campus. The partnership will redevelop parts of Paducah Site into a data center campus, as well as build new affordable energy infrastructure. The project advances DOE’s American Energy Hubs initiative, which is transforming former DOE sites into engines of affordable energy production, advanced manufacturing, technological innovation, and economic growth. Big Rivers Electric Power Corporation will provide wholesale electric service, Jackson Purchase Energy Cooperative will provide retail electric service, and Paducah Power System will serve as a community partner. The power service agreement remains subject to approval by the Kentucky Public Service Commission.
