Amazon Nears $650 Million Deal with Constellation Energy for Nuclear Power to Fuel AI Data Centers
Jul 1, 2024, 07:19 AM
Tech companies are increasingly turning to nuclear power to meet the growing energy demands of AI-driven data centers. Amazon is nearing a deal with Constellation Energy to source nuclear power for its data centers, following its $650 million acquisition of a nuclear-powered data center in Pennsylvania, WSJ says. This shift towards nuclear power aims to provide 24-7 carbon-free energy, addressing concerns over grid reliability as the tech industry expands. A third of nuclear-plant owners are reportedly in talks with tech firms to supply power for AI data centers. The move raises concerns about stability and environmental impact.
