  1. Google Signs 3.6-GW Nuclear Power Deal With Constellation

    Google has contracted for 3,590 megawatts of power from Constellation Energy through a 20-year agreement. The deal involves sourcing electricity mainly from upgraded nuclear plants in the PJM power grid. This arrangement supports the tech company's expanding artificial intelligence data center infrastructure and clean energy initiatives. Australian uranium miners rallied following the announcement, and Constellation Energy shares surged 14 percent. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission also designated Google Energy as a Category 2 wholesale electricity seller in the PJM area.

    Why it matters

    Tech companies are increasingly securing long-term utility-scale contracts to sustain the immense energy requirements of cloud computing and artificial intelligence systems. The Trump administration aims to add 5 gigawatts of carbon-free nuclear power capacity by 2029 without building new reactors. This push has led to nuclear uprates to squeeze more electricity out of older generation plants.

    What is confirmed

    • Google signed a 20-year nuclear power agreement with Constellation Energy for 3,590 megawatts.
    • The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission designated Google Energy as a Category 2 seller of wholesale electricity in the PJM power market.
    • Australian uranium miners rallied following the power deal announcement.
    • The agreement brings 890 megawatts of new nuclear capacity to the PJM grid.

    What to watch next

    • Implementation of the nuclear uprates to supply the targeted carbon-free power capacity by 2029.
    • Further regulatory filings regarding Google Energy's wholesale power seller status in other regional markets.
