“ You can build all the power plants you want, but without the services infrastructure to maintain them, you can’ t deliver the reliability that AI and data centres demand.”
Chris Hayter Co-Founder, President and COO, HTS
“ As data centre energy demands grow exponentially, the industry will need trained technicians, engineers and specialists to service the generating assets that power them,” Chris notes.“ We’ re not just building power capacity; we’ re building the human infrastructure to maintain it.”
SCALING THE HUMAN INFRASTRUCTURE FOR AI
For industries built on AI and highperformance computing, the pressure to scale is immediate. HTS meets the scaling challenge by integrating talent acquisition and workforce development into its growth strategy.
HTS actively recruits military veterans, recognising them as a valuable talent pool. Service members bring leadership, discipline and technical expertise that are ideally suited for complex energy projects.
“ We see veterans as a strategic asset,” Chris remarks.“ Their mindset, problem-solving ability and teamwork are exactly what our industry needs as we build the next generation of nuclear and clean energy infrastructure.”
DESIGNING THE FUTURE ENERGY ECOSYSTEM
Scaling for AI carries an environmental cost, creating what Chris calls“ the conundrum” at the heart of the technology economy.“ We have to be able to scale for AI and by the same token, we must deliver a long-term plan,” he says.“ We have to start by building excess energy now, which is going to need gas, but we have to focus on delivering the carbon-free energy of nuclear power. The long-term investment that will save not only our children, but our children’ s children.”
HTS’ s strategy positions the firm as an enabler of sustainable industrial progress. With its recent international expansion into the UK, HTS extends its nuclear-led ecosystem model to global markets. As the digital economy’ s energy appetite grows, HTS demonstrates that true innovation lies in infrastructure, skilled partnerships and the empowered people who guarantee reliability.
