NexGen Energy is advancing the Rook I uranium project in Saskatchewan, Canada, to address rising energy demands from data centers and AI. The CEO stated that discussions with tech firms about financing and uranium supply have begun.

The International Energy Agency noted a 3% increase in global electricity demand in 2025, driven by industrial growth and AI. As weather-dependent energy sources face reliability issues, technology companies are increasingly looking for stable energy solutions.

Nuclear power and uranium supply are becoming critical for energy-intensive data centers. NexGen's project aims to produce uranium on a large scale, responding to a market with limited supply amid rising demand.
