Value proposition
Blue Energy raised $380M to build grid-scale nuclear reactors in shipyards, aiming to solve the energy bottleneck for AI data centers through faster, more predictable construction.
Products and solutions
Prefabricated gas-plus-nuclear power plants (shipyard-built), GE Vernova 7HA.02 gas turbines (bridge power), GE Vernova Hitachi BWRX-300 SMRs (up to five units / ~1.5 GW nuclear), Gas-to-nuclear AI data center campuses
Target customer
Hyperscalers and enterprise AI providers operating large-scale AI data centers
Industries served
AI Infrastructure, Energy, Nuclear Power, Data Centers
Technology advantage
Manufacturing-centric deployment model using shipyards to pre-fabricate light water reactors, reducing construction timelines and capital costs compared to traditional bespoke nuclear builds.
How they differentiate
Focuses on deployment and manufacturing process innovation rather than new reactor technology; uses shipyard prefabrication and barge transport to achieve predictable schedules and fixed-price contracts.
