Duke Energy said it has discussed building new nuclear power with hyperscalers, contingent on the technology companies taking on part of the financial risk. The comments point to potential long-dated power demand from AI/data center operators and could support future utility investment plans, but no deal or project was announced. Near-term market impact is limited, with the main significance being the strategic link between power infrastructure and hyperscaler expansion.
