"Meta signs a 20-year nuclear power agreement" to secure an entire nuclear reactor to support AI Computing Power, collaborating with the American constellation energy.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Constellation Energy, one of the largest clean energy providers in the United States, has signed a 20-year contract with tech giant Meta Platforms, according to which Meta will purchase the power generated by Constellation at a nuclear power plant in Illinois to support the huge power demand required for its artificial intelligence (AI) program.

According to the Wall Street Journal yesterday (3), Constellation Energy, one of the largest clean energy suppliers in the United States, has signed a 20-year contract with technology giant Meta. According to the contract, starting in June 2027, Meta will purchase the power generation capacity of almost one of Constellation's nuclear reactors in Illinois (about 1,100 megawatts of electricity) to support the huge power demand required for its artificial intelligence (AI) program. While financial details of the partnership have not been made public, Constellation CEO Joe Dominguez said the deal with Meta will help cover the cost of relicensing, upgrading and maintaining its Clinton Clean Energy Center in Clinton, Illinois. Dominguez is blunt: "It's a multibillion-dollar capital investment to keep a power plant running for another 20 years." Under so-called power purchase agreements (PPAs), Meta will purchase the clean properties of nuclear power to offset the potential environmental concerns that accompany its use of less environmentally friendly electricity elsewhere. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence and data centers, the demand for electricity in the United States is increasing dramatically. The large data centers that tech companies are building to train AI models require city-scale electricity, making stable and clean energy sources such as nuclear power a popular choice. Constellation's single reactor at the Clinton nuclear power plant can generate 1,091 megawatts of electricity, enough to power 800,000 homes, and an additional 30 megawatts will be added after the upgrade. Constellation market value approaches $100 billion Constellation Energy shares (CGE) jumped 13% before the opening of U.S. stocks yesterday (3), but the gains quickly fell back after formal trading. However, it is still up nearly 25% in the past month, and the market value is about to reach the $100 billion level. Shows optimism about the future of nuclear power and clean energy, especially driven by the AI industry's demand for stable electricity.
