Nuclear Power: A clean path forward for the data center industry 

As the U.S. data center industry experiences explosive growth—driven by AI, high-performance computing, and hyperscaler expansion—power demand is outpacing traditional infrastructure capabilities. Nuclear energy is emerging as the most viable, carbon-free solution to meet this demand, offering unmatched scalability, reliability, and sustainability. With strong federal support and billions in private investment, the industry is rapidly advancing nuclear development through reactor restarts, small modular reactor R&D, and strategic partnerships. This momentum positions nuclear power as the cornerstone of future digital infrastructure, with Cushman & Wakefield playing a pivotal role in enabling site selection, permitting, and infrastructure planning for this energy transformation.
