ONE Nuclear Energy LLC (“ONE Nuclear”), an independent developer of large-scale energy solutions powered by natural gas and advanced nuclear technologies, announced today that it has executed a binding letter of intent (LOI) with a prominent Louisiana landowner group, providing site control for the development of Project Cayman, a 2.88 GW natural gas plant and a 700MW, 2.88GWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project with a co-located high-capacity data center campus.
The initiative aligns with Entergy's significant buildout of new regional transmission infrastructure, underscoring ONE Nuclear's commitment to powering Louisiana’s expanding industrial and technology sectors. Project Cayman is strategically located near Louisiana’s RiverPlex MegaPark, northeast of SpaceX’s recently announced infrastructure expansion. The project will complement these regional economic development efforts by adding dispatchable generation, energy storage and technology infrastructure near major new industrial loads and transmission investment, providing further regional grid reliability.
“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.”
Community outreach is already underway and is expected to include a series of public information meetings with local parishes, governmental agencies and other project stakeholders from September through December 2026.

Louisiana has so much capital investment right now-truly historic. Now let's see if any of it trickles down to the OT poors like me.

Council members around these parts signed NDA's and now they're breaking the local laws trying to get it built as fast as possible. It''s close to neighborhoods and a school. What they don't tell you about the damage they do to the surrounding area and people/animals and pollinators should make taxpayers reconsider. Why are these billionaires getting hundreds of billions in tax abatements? If they leave before the agreement expires, it falls right back on the taxpayers of that city.

Get involved and it will.
Don't just sit around and expect it.

Is this is an update on the Clean Hydrogen Works LA-2 facility (originally projected as 2.7 GW) that will be next door to Hyundai? Or will this be another massive power plant built in the same area?

It was a joke. But sure ok- thanks for the life coaching.

Small nuclear power generation seems smart. Subs, just heard cargo tankers, and now this. Moving in the right direction to be honest.
Using normal power grids requires big investments in upgrades and consumers often foot the bill in higher rates.
All for this.

Nuclear is just in the company name. The announcement is "just" another natural gas power plant. Nothing to do with nuclear energy.

I was wondering the same, this project might have multiple names, Ascension Clean Energy has also been mentioned

Might need to move the state capitol to Ascension
Baton Rouge and St George can't keep up with Ascension tax revenue windfall about to hit
