Google has struck an expanded deal with Baltimore-based Constellation Energy to draw more power from the company's existing nuclear plants, as the tech giant looks to secure reliable electricity supplies for its growing data center operations.
The arrangement is seen by analysts as a positive development for other independent power producers that also operate nuclear facilities, as demand for stable, carbon-free electricity continues to rise alongside the expansion of artificial intelligence infrastructure.
Nuclear power has increasingly drawn interest from major technology companies seeking long-term, reliable energy sources to run energy-intensive data centers, and deals of this kind are becoming more common across the sector.
Further details of the financial terms of the agreement were not immediately available.
