Google Secures 890 MW Of Nuclear Power from Constellation Energy

Google/Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG) says it has contracted 3,590 megawatts of power from Constellation Energy (NASDAQ:CEG) in the largest US power grid, PJM Interconnection, which serves 67 million people across 13 states and Washington, D.C. New nuclear energy will account for about a quarter of that supply, or 890 megawatts. Artificial intelligence and data center expansion have drastically increased Google's electricity usage and carbon emissions. Major tech companies are racing to secure massive amounts of electricity supplies to power data centers across the US by striking unprecedented power deals and reviving the country's nuclear industry,Reuters reported on Tuesday. Unlike renewables, nuclear provides continuous base-load power.
