Google and Constellation Energy are reportedly nearing a deal for nuclear power supply worth approximately $1 billion. While the agreement has not been formally announced, it would mark a significant partnership between the tech giant and the largest nuclear operator in the United States.
The demand for consistent, carbon-free electricity is driven by the expansion of data centers required for artificial intelligence. Currently, major tech companies including Google, Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft have collectively secured contracts for roughly 8.5 GW of output from existing nuclear reactors.
Constellation recently finalized a 20-year agreement with Amazon for 690 MW from the Calvert Cliffs plant in Maryland, an arrangement expected to unlock over $3 billion in infrastructure investment. In contrast, Google previously signed a deal with Georgia Power for 96 MW of capacity at the Vogtle and Hatch plants.
