Nvidia and PreussenElektra to assess former German nuclear sites for AI data centers

Nvidia and PreussenElektra, E.ON's nuclear-decommissioning subsidiary, plan to assess former German nuclear sites as locations for AI data centers. No investment decision, capacity target or construction timetable has been disclosed. A separate Bavarian proposal near Isar 2 envisions a 100 MW AI data center and 900 MW of battery storage.

• PreussenElektra would share land and infrastructure data; Nvidia would assess AI computing requirements
• Germany's last three reactors, including Isar 2, shut down on April 15, 2023
• A Niederaichbach proposal covers a 100 MW AI data center and 900 MW of batteries on 5 hectares
• The Isar substation is being expanded to take up to 4 GW of renewables via SuedOstLink by 2030
