It's buzzword bingo: The datacenter sustainability edition
Green Energy Partners has tapped IP3 International to help realize its dream of a massive datacenter campus in Virginia powered entirely by small modular reactors and hydrogen gas generators.of a 641 acre industrial park located in Surry County, Virginia, called the Surry Green Energy Center . Situated in close proximity to the Surry Power Station's two 800MW reactors, GEP and IP3 hope to attract datacenter operators to set up shop during the first phase of the project.
"We're going to create a datacenter park first, and that datacenter park will get power from the local utility, and we will build lots, and we will sell those lots to datacenter providers," IP3 CEO Michael Hewitt, whose company specializes in supporting the development of nuclear power plants in the US and Europe, told."We see that as a very lucrative investment, particularly when you look at the going rate for a datacenter lot in, say, Northern Virginia.
The idea of using SMRs to power datacenters is by no means a new concept. We spoke with analysts at Omdia last year about thefor these miniaturized nuclear reactors to alleviate pressure on local utilities, particularly in power-challenged regions, like Virginia. "There are a number of technologies that are in development around the SMR space, and light water reactor space, and in what they call the advanced modular space," Hewitt said, adding that for any reactor design to be considered it'll need to have gone through the NRC licensing process.
All told, GEP and IP3, expect they'll need somewhere between four and six SMRs, each capable of producing 250MW of power. However, Hewitt admits this is ultimately going to depend on the technology employed.
