The companies have signed a 20 -year agreement, which will buy electricity with Clinton Clean Energy Center in Clinton since June 2027, when the state subsidy will expire. The financial part of the agreement is not disclosed, but it is known that within its limits will invest in an increase in production at NPPs and consider the construction of another reactor, which already has federal approval.
Signing an agreement with META is an important step for a station in Clinton, which has a capacity of more than 1110 megawatts, sufficient to provide electricity about 800,000 homes. The previous owner of the station, Exelon Corp., could close the power plant in 2017 because of high competition with cheaper natural gas and renewable energy sources, but this changed after Illinois approved the subsidy for 10 years.
Clinton Clean Energy CenterUrvey Pareha, Head of Meta Energy Department, says that this contract is the largest META agreement in energy in history. The company became more interested in nuclear energy to conduct its operations, and in December made an ad, which was looking for proposals for reactors with a capacity of up to 4 gigawatts, to which it received more than 50 answers, including a proposal from Constellation.
Nuclear power has become especially interesting for many artificial intelligence companies, which requires high capacity to train new models. In February, France announced the allocation of 1 nuclear energy gigawat in the AW, and AWS, Amazon’s subsidiary, plans to invest more than $ 500 million in nuclear energy.
At the same time, Constellium last year signed an agreement with Microsoft on the restoration of the closed nuclear power of Three Mile Island for $ 1.6 billion. If regulators are approved, the company will receive 100% of the electricity produced for its dated centers.
