Blue Energy and GE Vernova announced a 2.5 GW nuclear and natural gas collaboration in Texas, aiming to advance a combined gas-plus-nuclear power plant by 2027 — enhancing US electricity supply. The collaboration targets co-location of gas peaking capacity with BWRX-300 nuclear baseload to deliver a firm 24/7 clean power product for data centres and industrial customers. Texas's ERCOT grid is facing severe capacity constraints as AI data centres multiply in the Dallas-Fort Worth corridor.
