Constellation Energy Corp. has entered into a 20-year agreement with Meta Platforms to sell power from the Clinton nuclear plant beginning in mid-2027, coinciding with the expiration of a state subsidy. This deal underscores the soaring energy demands driven by artificial intelligence. Constellation, the largest nuclear operator in the U.S., plans to enhance the output of the Clinton plant and is exploring the construction of an additional reactor. The demand for stable, emission-free nuclear power is growing as companies like Meta increasingly rely on large volumes of electricity.
As artificial intelligence sends power demand soaring, Constellation Energy has agreed to a 20-year contract with Meta, marking a significant shift towards nuclear energy to meet rising electricity needs.
Nuclear power has gained traction due to its ability to provide stable electricity supplies compared to intermittent sources like solar and wind, as AI-related electricity demand increases significantly.
