- More than
$1.4 billion of infrastructure already deployed, establishing a highly compelling speed-to-power advantage for customers facing rapidly growing compute demand; - Nearly
$1.0 billion in financing commitments secured, including the replacement of high-cost debt with more favorable equipment financing; - Secured approximately two gigawatts of generation assets;
- Continued de-risking of the long-dated nuclear program through partnerships with
Hyundai Engineering & Construction and Doosan Enerbility, and admission to the NRC's accelerated NEPA pilot program; and - An active search for a permanent CEO led by
Heidrick & Struggles , a top executive search firm, with interviews underway and a strong slate of candidates being narrowed down.
