AI growth drives Google’s $1B energy deal

Althabet, the company that owns Google, is moving towards sealing a deal worth a billion dollars or more with Constellation Energy to purchase nuclear power. The goal is to secure the electricity supplies needed for data centers, whose demand is increasing due to the AI boom. The agreement, which is expected to span several years, comes amid a growing reliance on nuclear energy as a clean and sustainable method of generating electricity around the clock—especially given the challenges related to licensing and the construction of new reactors. This comes after previous approvals from Google and Microsoft to buy nuclear energy to support their operations, as multiple companies are turning to nuclear power to cope with rising electricity consumption and to reduce emissions.
