SI companies are financing old reactors themselves to get electricity for data centers.
According to the WSJ, as relayed by RIA Novosti, the agreement with Constellation involves more than $4.3 billion in investment to upgrade 11 operating reactors in Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey; Google will receive 890 MW, and another 2,700 MW will go to the regional grid. The first stage is due to be completed in 2028, the remaining work in 2032–2033; by the publication's estimate, the capacity increase is comparable to building one large reactor.
