PreussenElektra is working with NVIDIA to test whether former German nuclear power plant sites can be turned into "AI factories", the regional broadcaster radio aktiv reported on Oct. 22. The Grohnde site in the Weserbergland is one of the locations named.
Why the grid connection is the asset
The companies want to know whether the infrastructure left at the sites, and in particular their powerful grid connections, suits modern AI data centers, according to radio aktiv. PreussenElektra is responsible for decommissioning and dismantling eight former nuclear plant sites in Germany. Both companies say former power plant sites offer good starting conditions for such projects in principle.
Radio aktiv reports the review tests existing grid connections at former nuclear sites; no site or investment is decided.
