Santee Cooper seeks partners to complete two unfinished nuclear reactors in South Carolina, restarted due to rising AI energy demands.

Santee Cooper, a South Carolina utility company, is seeking proposals to complete two unfinished nuclear reactors at the V.C. Summer Nuclear Station. The project, halted in 2017 due to cost overruns, could be revived due to increased demand for nuclear power, partly driven by tech companies' need for energy to power AI data centers. The company aims to find a partner to finance and complete the reactors by May 5, potentially bringing economic benefits to the state.
