Germany’s former nuclear power plant sites could find a new role in the country’s expanding artificial intelligence infrastructure, as energy company PreussenElektra and NVIDIA examine their potential for large-scale AI data centers. The assessment places industrial redevelopment at the intersection of computing demand, power availability, and existing infrastructure. Rather than starting with undeveloped land, the companies are examining whether established industrial locations can accommodate the demanding requirements of modern AI operations. The initiative also raises a broader infrastructure question: can sites built around conventional power generation support the next generation of energy-intensive computing?
