Core Insights - Amazon announced a $20 billion investment in Pennsylvania to build two data center campuses, one near the Susquehanna nuclear power plant and another at the Keystone Trade Center logistics park [1][3] - This investment is noted as the largest capital investment in Pennsylvania's history, with federal regulators closely monitoring the project due to its direct connection to the nuclear power plant [3] - Since early 2024, Amazon has committed approximately $10 billion in data center projects across Mississippi, Indiana, Ohio, and North Carolina to enhance infrastructure and compete with other tech giants amid rising demand for AI products [3] Group 1 - The Susquehanna nuclear power plant's major stakeholder, Talen Energy, sold a data center near the plant to Amazon for $650 million, which will provide 960 megawatts of power, enough to supply over 500,000 homes [4] - The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has postponed the transaction for procedural reasons, raising concerns about power availability for other users and the fairness of exempting large power users from grid fees [4] - Microsoft has previously reached an agreement to restart a reactor at the closed Three Mile Island nuclear plant to power data centers in four states, indicating a trend among tech giants to reshape the U.S. energy landscape amid AI demands [4]

Core Viewpoint - The increasing demand for energy from data centers, particularly driven by generative AI, is expected to benefit nuclear power stocks, especially Constellation Energy, which has secured significant contracts with major tech companies like Microsoft and Meta [1][2][10]. Group 1: Energy Demand and Nuclear Power - Data center energy demand is projected to grow by 160% by 2030, with a significant portion attributed to AI-specific servers [1][5]. - In 2024, data centers consumed 200 terawatt-hours of energy, with AI-specific servers accounting for 27% to 38% of that total [5]. - By 2028, the share of electricity consumed by data centers in the U.S. is expected to triple from 4.4% to 12%, with AI's energy consumption rising at an average annual rate of 32.6% to reach 244 terawatt-hours [6]. Group 2: Constellation Energy's Position - Constellation Energy has seen its stock rise by 29% this year, driven by contracts to supply nuclear power to Microsoft and Meta [2][10]. - The company signed a 20-year agreement with Microsoft worth approximately $16 billion and a similar agreement with Meta for about 1.1 gigawatts of nuclear power starting in 2027 [10][11]. - Despite the positive contracts, Constellation's stock has experienced volatility, with analysts suggesting it may be overvalued [3][13]. Group 3: Market Dynamics and Future Outlook - The nuclear energy sector currently provides 20% of U.S. electricity, but this is expected to increase as demand for nuclear power grows [7]. - Major tech companies, including Meta, Amazon, and Google, have committed to tripling the world's nuclear capacity by 2050, although new capacity may take years to develop [9]. - Talen Energy, another player in the market, has potential upside if it can resolve regulatory issues related to its data center deal with AWS [17].

Meta signed a 20-year deal with a nuclear plant in Illinois, becoming the latest tech giant to partner with the industry to power an expansion into artificial intelligence.Starting in June 2027, Meta will fund approximately 1.1 gigawatts of energy from Constellation Energy’s Clinton Clean Energy Center in Clinton, Ill., which is the entire output from the site’s sole reactor. Just one gigawatt is enough to power nearly 1 million homes. 3 Meta on Tuesday announced it has signed a 20-year deal with a Conste ...

Meta announced Tuesday morning that it was paying billions of dollars to keep an Illinois nuclear power plant running through 2047. The social media company will buy all the “clean energy attributes” of Constellation Energy’s Clinton Clean Energy Center, a 1.1 gigawatt nuclear power plant in central Illinois, starting in June 2027.Electricity will still flow to the local grid, so Meta’s purchase won’t directly power one of its data centers, though the company does have one about two hours north of Clinton i ...
