Google, Constellation near deal for nuclear power, Bloomberg News reports - Reuters

Google is reportedly nearing an agreement with Constellation Energy to utilize nuclear power for its operations. The potential deal, which has been described by some reports as a billion-dollar arrangement, reflects the technology industry’s growing interest in securing reliable, carbon-free energy sources to power data centers and artificial intelligence infrastructure.

The move comes as major technology companies increasingly look toward atomic energy to meet the significant electricity demands required by the expansion of AI. Constellation Energy, one of the largest operators of nuclear power plants in the United States, has become a primary target for partnerships as firms seek to stabilize their energy supply chains.

While this specific negotiation is currently in progress, Google has already established a history of collaborating with atomic power producers. The company has previously entered into multiple agreements within the nuclear sector to support its sustainability goals and ensure a consistent power supply for its global operations.

Neither Google nor Constellation Energy has provided official confirmation regarding the final terms or the status of the potential contract. The development highlights a broader trend among large-scale energy consumers who are exploring nuclear power as a long-term solution to the energy-intensive requirements of modern computing.
