Google and Constellation announce 890 MW nuclear power deal

Google and Constellation Energy have announced a long-term strategic clean energy collaboration to bring 890 MW of new nuclear capacity onto the PJM Interconnection grid, alongside a 20-year power purchase agreement and a five-year technology alliance.

• The agreement adds 890 MW of carbon-free capacity through investments at 11 Constellation-owned nuclear units in Illinois, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey; the first uprate is expected by 2028.
• Constellation says the deal helps sustain about 4,400 existing jobs, create about 7,200 construction jobs, and drive more than $4.3 billion of new investment; Google Cloud and Gemini Enterprise will be used to build an AI for energy blueprint for grid operations.
