Standard Power, a colocation provider specializing in datacenter services, plans to power its upcoming datacenters in Ohio and Pennsylvania with miniaturized nuclear reactors developed by NuScale. The move aligns with the company's commitment to catering to the energy-intensive world of proof-of-work blockchain mining, which is crucial for generating digital currencies like Bitcoin.
Standard Power intends to deploy a total of 24 of NuScale's compact reactors across the two datacenter locations, with an individual capacity of 77 megawatts and a cumulative capacity of 1,848 megawatts for the entire setup. While the realization of Standard Power's nuclear ambitions may still be a few years away, the adoption of Small Modular Reactors represents a promising step towards sustainable and robust power generation for the datacenter industry.
