E.ON explores data center use for Germany's former nuclear sites
The grid operator is taking an initial step with Nvidia to assess feasibility, finance chief Nadia Jakobi said.
E.ON is assessing whether decommissioned German nuclear power locations could accommodate data centers, Chief Financial Officer Nadia Jakobi said at a November 11 presentation following the company's earnings.
Jakobi said existing infrastructure, especially large connections to the electricity grid, could make the locations suitable for industrial use. The European grid operator is taking an initial step with U.S. chip designer Nvidia to determine whether the project is viable.
She expressed hope that former sites would become available soon and highlighted E.ON's experience in nuclear demolition.
Germany ended its six-decade nuclear program in 2023, leaving dozens of sites inactive. Berlin had committed to abandoning nuclear power after Japan's Fukushima disaster in 2011.
