[USA] Last Energy plans to deploy 600 MW of microreactors to power Texas data centers

As of February 28, 2025, Last Energy, a micro-nuclear technology developer, announced plans to build 30 microreactors in Haskell County, Texas, to serve American data center customers across the state. [1] The company will build its microreactors on a 200-acre site and provide power to off-takers through a mix of private wire and grid transmission. The company has filed for a grid connection with the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) and is preparing to file for an Early Site Permit (ESP) with the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). Last Energy’s plans are in response to the overwhelming demand from Texas-based data center developers over the past year. Last Energy’s Texas site would increase the company’s development capacity by another 30 units and enable the expansion of its commercial pipeline throughout the US. Last Energy’s Northwest Texas project will play an important role in adding capacity to the grid and meeting data center deployment projections.
