What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Google entered into a 20-year power purchase agreement with Constellation Energy for 890 megawatts of electricity from multiple upgraded nuclear power plants. This agreement is part of a larger arrangement that includes a 2,700-megawatt long-term supply agreement in the PJM grid. Constellation Energy also restarted its Three Mile Island reactor in Pennsylvania to serve Microsoft data centers, and Google contracted to restart NextEra Energy's nuclear plant in Iowa.
