Key Takeaways:
1. Tech companies, including Amazon, are negotiating to buy nuclear power directly for AI data centers.
2. These deals could divert stable power from the grid, impacting reliability and raising prices.
3. The shift may increase reliance on natural gas, affecting emission-cutting goals.

What Happened?
Tech giants like Amazon are targeting nuclear power plants to fuel their AI-driven data centers. Roughly one-third of U.S. nuclear plants are in discussions with tech companies for direct electricity supply. Amazon Web Services is nearing a deal with Constellation Energy, the largest U.S. nuclear plant owner, to power a new data center on the East Coast.

Amazon has already purchased a nuclear-powered data center in Pennsylvania for $650 million, capable of receiving up to 960 megawatts of electricity—enough to power hundreds of thousands of homes.

Why It Matters?
This trend could significantly impact the U.S. power grid. By diverting nuclear power to data centers, these deals might reduce the availability of stable, carbon-free electricity for other users. This could lead to higher electricity prices and increased reliance on natural gas, which produces carbon emissions.

The move has sparked concerns among state regulators and consumer advocates about grid reliability and cost implications. Patrick Cicero, Pennsylvania’s consumer advocate, emphasized the potential risks of giving “massive consumers of energy first dibs.”

What’s Next?
Expect more behind-the-meter deals where tech companies receive power directly from plants, bypassing traditional grid infrastructure. While this could speed up data center development, it may also prompt regulatory scrutiny and public debate. States like New Jersey and Connecticut are already grappling with the economic and environmental impacts.

As AI continues to drive data center expansion, the demand for reliable, carbon-free power will grow. Monitoring how regulatory bodies and energy markets respond will be crucial for investors and stakeholders.

Additional Considerations:
Stay tuned to developments within the PJM Interconnection, the regional transmission organization covering 13 states. Companies like American Electric Power and Exelon have already requested a federal hearing to address potential cost shifts resulting from these deals.

As the nuclear-tech alliance evolves, it will be essential to watch how these dynamics affect energy policies, market prices, and the broader push for clean energy.
