Ex-BP CEO Bernard Looney to Lead $10 Billion US Data Center Project

Looney takes on a new role at Prometheus Hyperscale after leaving BP over misconduct allegations in 2023.

Bernard Looney, former CEO of BP, has been appointed chairman of Prometheus Hyperscale, a US-based data infrastructure company.
This marks Looney's first major role since his resignation from BP last year following revelations about undisclosed personal relationships with colleagues.
Prometheus Hyperscale is developing a $10 billion data center in Wyoming, aiming to address the growing demand for AI-driven data infrastructure with a focus on sustainability.
The company has partnered with Oklo, a nuclear energy firm backed by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, to power its operations with clean energy solutions.
Looney's experience in managing large-scale energy projects is seen as a key asset as the company seeks to redefine environmentally responsible data center operations.
