GE Vernova and Blue Energy will develop a 2.5 GW power plant in Texas. The project represents the world’s first integrated gas-plus-nuclear facility. It aims to meet surging electricity demand from artificial intelligence and advanced manufacturing.
The plant will utilize GE Vernova’s BWRX-300 small modular reactors alongside its 7HA.02 gas turbines. Early site works are scheduled to begin in 2026. A final investment decision is expected in 2027.
Gas turbines will provide initial power to the site by 2030. Nuclear reactors will begin powering a nearby data center campus by 2032. The collaboration leverages Blue Energy’s financing and construction approach to scale nuclear energy affordably.
