Title: Meta's Going To Revive an Old Nuclear Power Plant

Link: https://tech.slashdot.org/story/25/06/03/1720...

Meta has struck a 20-year deal with energy company Constellation to keep the
Clinton Clean Energy Center nuclear plant in Illinois operational, the social
media giant's first nuclear power purchase agreement as it seeks clean energy
sources for AI data centers. The aging facility, which was slated to close in
2017 after years of financial losses and currently operates under a state tax
credit reprieve until 2027, will receive undisclosed financial support that
enables a 30-megawatt capacity expansion to 1,121 MW total output. The
arrangement preserves 1,100 local jobs while generating electricity for
800,000 homes, as Meta purchases clean energy certificates to offset a
portion of its growing carbon footprint driven by AI operations.
