Energizing Technology: Data Services and Tech
Technology sits at the forefront of society, driving rapid industrial change and increasing global demand for reliable and efficient power. With data centres’ capacity expected to grow significantly in the coming years, and digital access expanding globally, it is evident why leading technology companies are turning to nuclear as the dependable and low-carbon solution.
Power outages pose serious risks to technological infrastructures. To maintain operational reliability and support continuous innovation, nuclear energy has become a key partner of the technology sector. Meeting future electricity demands will require at least a tripling of global nuclear capacity by 2050, and that requires multiple sectors to collaborate and investment across the entire nuclear supply chain.
