The AI-driven boost in power consumption is going to be significant for nuclear energy, according to Joe Dominguez, chief executive officer of Constellation Energy.

Dominguez said during an interview with Bloomberg TV that his phone is “ringing off the hook “as tech companies, data centre operators and other firms look for reliable sources of energy.

“Everybody is looking for power,” Dominguez said. “People are looking at nuclear because AI demands a lot of power.”
