Record Notes
Rolls-Royce, in collaboration with the UK government, is developing small modular reactors (SMRs) to provide sustainable energy solutions for data centers. Each SMR is designed to generate approximately 470 megawatts of electricity, sufficient to power multiple data centers. This initiative aims to address the increasing energy demands of AI and cloud computing services while supporting the UK's commitment to carbon neutrality. The project is currently in the development phase, with plans to deploy the first SMRs within the next decade.
