Brookfield Enters Data Center Market with Own Nuclear Power Business

Brookfield, a private equity firm, is launching a cloud computing business, Radiant, to challenge the hyperscaler oligopoly. Radiant is tied to a $10 billion AI infrastructure fund with priority leasing rights to data centers built under the fund. Brookfield owns the majority of Westinghouse, a reactor developer poised to provide carbon-free baseload power to the US grid. Brookfield could assist with fast-tracking development of Westinghouse's AP300 reactor, a 300 MWe reactor designed for the AI era's massive baseload needs.
