美国公用事业公司正在推动天然气发电厂的发展,以满足来自AI、电气化和人口增长的不断增长的需求,从而引起对核能的新兴趣。 U.S. utilities are boosting natural gas power plants to meet rising demand from AI, electrification, and population growth, sparking renewed interest in nuclear energy.

美国公用事业公司正在迅速扩大天然气发电能力,以满足来自AI数据中心、电气化和人口增长的快速电力需求,塔伦能源公司、Vestra公司和星座公司进行了大量投资。 U.S. utilities are rapidly expanding natural gas power capacity to meet surging electricity demand from AI data centers, electrification, and population growth, with major investments by Talen Energy, Vistra, and Constellation. Talen Energy宣布一项34.5亿美元的交易,在PJM地区购买2.6千兆瓦的天然气厂,加上以前购置的煤气厂。 Talen Energy announced a $3.45 billion deal to acquire 2.6 GW of gas plants in the PJM region, adding to previous acquisitions. Duke Energy正在评估北卡罗来纳州1,360兆瓦的天然气厂,这是取代老煤厂的更广泛计划的一部分。 Duke Energy is evaluating a 1,360-MW gas plant in North Carolina, part of broader plans to replace aging coal plants. 虽然天然气比煤炭清洁,但其排放正在促使人们重新关注核能作为一种低碳替代能源,预计先进反应堆将在2030年后做出贡献。 While gas is cleaner than coal, its emissions are driving renewed interest in nuclear power as a low-carbon alternative, with advanced reactors expected to contribute after 2030.
