Google and Constellation announce 890 MW nuclear deal

Google has announced a new long-term energy collaboration with Constellation Energy to add 890 MW of nuclear capacity to the PJM grid and deploy Gemini Enterprise across Constellation operations.

• The agreement covers physical and digital upgrades at six operating nuclear plants across Illinois, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey; the uprates are expected to be completed before the end of 2032 and add 890 MW of firm clean power.
• Google says the deal is tied to its data center growth, supports roughly 4,400 existing jobs and 7,200 new construction jobs, and brings Google’s total enabled nuclear capacity to over 1.5 GW in the U.S.; it also references related nuclear efforts in Georgia, Iowa, and Tennessee.
