Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon have signed decades-long power purchase agreements with nuclear plants in Pennsylvania and Illinois to secure clean electricity for their data centres, supporting operations and expansions tied to AI workloads. These agreements cover restarting old reactors, maintaining existing plants, and growing output at nuclear facilities while aligning with regional grid operations.
