Insights

$1B SPAC deal targets 2 GW gas by 2028; risks remain.

ONE Nuclear plans to merge with HVII at an equity value near $1 billion, with potential proceeds of up to $210 million. The business plan prioritizes near‑term gas generation (about 2 GW by 2028) to serve data center demand, with nuclear generation targeted by 2034. Listing is intended on Nasdaq as ONEN in the first half of 2026.

Key dependencies include shareholder approval, regulatory clearance, and SPAC market dynamics. The communication states commercial agreements are non‑binding and site rights in Texas and Oklahoma require definitive agreements, introducing execution risk. SMR technology selection is also under evaluation.

The filing flags risks such as potential redemptions, ability to meet listing standards, and transaction changes. Subsequent SEC filings, including a Form S‑4 and proxy statement, are expected to provide detailed terms and risk factors.

Power Developer One Nuclear to Go Public in US Via SPAC Deal

 

By Will Wade

Bloomberg

October 23, 2025

LINK

 

One Nuclear Energy LLC has agreed to go public through a merger with a blank-check company in a deal that valued the developer of nuclear and natural gas power plants at about $1 billion on an equity basis.

 

The transaction is expected to raise as much as $210 million to help the company develop about 2 gigawatts of gas capacity by 2028, according to a statement reviewed by Bloomberg News. The deal is expected to be completed in the first half of 2026 and One Nuclear plans to trade on the Nasdaq exchange under the symbol ONEN.

 

One Nuclear is initially developing power plants at two sites, in Texas and Oklahoma, and is in talks to deliver electricity primarily to data-center customers. The company plans to install gas systems first and will later pursue nuclear energy.

 

Chief Executive Officer Richard Taylor said booming energy demand in the US means the company needs to deliver power as soon as possible.

 

“We’re building baseload power for the AI economy” Taylor said in an interview. “They want the fastest route to energy, and gas provides the fastest route to energy.”

 

Shares of nuclear firms, including those that produce no energy and have no reactors, have been buoyed this year by the boom in artificial intelligence and the data centers supporting it, driving demand for new power sources. Still, there’s been some recent concern about market froth.

 

One Nuclear has an agreement to procure gas-powered reciprocating engines from Rolls-Royce Plc. The company is looking at several potential partners to supply small, modular reactors, technology that is still being developed for commercial use. Taylor, who said the company has been internally funded, expects to begin supplying nuclear power by 2034.

 

The company is going public through a merger with Hennessy Capital Investment Corp. VII. It’s evaluating multiple other US sites for additional power plants, which it expects to develop, own and operate.
