ONE Nuclear Energy LLC signed a binding agreement with a local landowner group to secure the land for a significant new energy site called Project Cayman.

The project features a 2.88-gigawatt natural gas plant combined with a 700-megawatt, 2.88-gigawatt-hour battery storage system. The construction doesn’t stop there. A high-capacity data center is being built on the same campus.

The site sits near Louisiana’s RiverPlex MegaPark, just northeast of SpaceX’s recently announced infrastructure expansion. By bringing in new power generation and large-scale battery storage in areas with growing heavy industrial demand, they hope to make the entire regional grid much more reliable.

As new factories and technology hubs move into Louisiana, the state needs a lot more electricity to keep up. ONE Nuclear wants to be the company providing that steady power.

“Project Cayman, with its 2.88 GW power capacity, demonstrates that ONE Nuclear is committed to supporting the future economic development of one of Louisiana’s most important industrial regions,” said Richard Taylor, CEO of ONE Nuclear. “The project will deliver the reliable energy needed to support new investment, create jobs, expand the local tax base and generate additional funding for community priorities and critical infrastructure.”

Large-scale industrial growth requires constant, dependable power. According to engineers, the facility is designed specifically to handle the heavy energy needs of modern, data-driven economies.

Scaling the Energy Infrastructure

Community outreach is already up and running. ONE Nuclear plans to hold a series of public information meetings with local parishes, government agencies, and other stakeholders from September through December 2026.

ONE Nuclear wants to keep building scalable energy infrastructure for the United States.

“ONE Nuclear is proud to invest in the region to support the rapidly growing energy needs created by other recently announced developments such as the SpaceX Starbase project and Hyundai’s $5.8 billion steel mill,” Taylor concluded.
