Amazon Nuke Deal Fuels Constellation Energy After Axed Data Center

Amazon announced a 20-year nuclear power deal with Constellation Energy late Wednesday. The deal will enable expansion at the Maryland nuclear plant where the e-commerce giant just scrapped plans to build a data center in August, amid community opposition. The Amazon deal calls for Constellation to supply 690 megawatts of power from its Calvert Cliff's nuclear plant, including 190 megawatts of new capacity.
