"Blue Energy claims that it will use a "natural gas bridge" to deliver power to the Crusoe campus by 2028, transitioning to nuclear generation by 2031. What this means in practice is that the plant and turbine hall will be burning gas to generate power in three years' time, while the nuclear part of the site is still being built and licensed."
""This partnership with AI infrastructure leader Crusoe marks a key milestone for Blue Energy as we work to meet rising global energy demand and, for the first time in the nuclear industry's history, build a plant with cost and schedule certainty," Blue Energy CEO and Co-Founder Jake Jurewicz said in a supplied remark. However, the proof of the pudding will be in the eating, as the saying goes."
Blue Energy and Crusoe will develop an AI campus at the Port of Victoria, Texas on a 1,600-acre site chosen for location and existing infrastructure. Blue Energy will build and operate an advanced nuclear power plant with generating capacity up to 1.5 GW to supply Crusoe’s nearby AI bit barns. Blue Energy plans to use a "natural gas bridge" to deliver power by 2028 and transition to nuclear generation by 2031 while the nuclear portion is built and licensed. The company intends to prefabricate reactor components at existing fab yards and shipyards to reduce build time, costs, and onsite concrete.
