grids and energy parks that bypass the congested centralized energy transmission infrastructure of the United States. By combining the rapid deployment capabilities of high-efficiency natural gas generation with the long-term decarbonization and baseload potential of advanced Small Modular Reactors (“SMRs”), ONE Nuclear will offer a differentiated, dual-phase infrastructure solution tailored to the inelastic demand of hyperscale artificial intelligence (“AI”) data centers and critical industrial facilities. ONE Nuclear’s objective is to cultivate a diverse and sector-agnostic client base of energy-intensive end-users, including not just hyperscale AI and cloud data centers, but also industrial manufacturers, refineries, desalination plants and critical-infrastructure customers.

ONE Nuclear’s development model seeks to bring natural-gas capacity online in the near term while advancing staged deployment of factory-built SMRs as regulatory approvals, technology readiness, and customer demands allow. This model is designed to generate early revenue, validate site operations, and support long-term decarbonization objectives while enabling customers to scale load in multi-gigawatt increments. ONE Nuclear believes that this dual-track approach provides a differentiated path to delivering firm, low-carbon power at a pace consistent with emerging customer and market requirements.

ONE Nuclear is advancing a multi-gigawatt
development pipeline across key U.S. regions, with priority sites currently in East Texas, Oklahoma and Washington state. These efforts
are supported by a nationwide screening process that includes more than 75 candidate locations at varying stages of evaluation. ONE
Nuclear has executed three memoranda of understanding relating to sites in East Texas, Oklahoma, and Washington state.
ONE Nuclear management currently expects initial facilities to begin coming online in the fourth quarter of 2027, with
up to 2 GW of natural-gas-powered generation capacity operating by the fourth quarter of 2028. With a strong pipeline, ONE Nuclear
is positioned to capitalize on the super cycle of electrification and AI and data center-driven load growth.

ONE Nuclear Platform

ONE Nuclear’s goal is to establish a nationwide platform delivering large, reliable, and scalable energy solutions for data centers, industrial, and next-generation infrastructure customers.

“Build-Own-Operate” Model

ONE Nuclear intends to hold assets on its balance sheet for the long term, rather than adopting a “develop-and-flip” model common among energy project developers. The “Build-Own-Operate” model has a number of advantages, including:
