The utility reports 21 gigawatts of interest from AI data centers, with 12 GW in active talks for service by 2028.
NextEra Energy (NEE) has attracted 21 gigawatts of power demand from large-load customers, including hyperscale data centers, driven by AI growth. The company is in discussions for 12 GW of capacity, targeting service start by 2028.
Florida’s business climate and NextEra’s infrastructure position it as a preferred provider for data center developers. Few utilities match its scale or ability to deliver reliable, competitively priced power.
The surge in demand underscores NextEra’s strategic advantage in the AI power market, with potential to expand its regulated and clean energy segments.
