Atomstrom: Google will Milliardenvertrag mit US-Atomriesen schließen
Alphabet sucht Energie für Rechenzentren und setzt dabei wohl verstärkt auf die Atomkraft. Ein entsprechender Deal mit dem US‑Betreiber Constellation könnte bald verkündet werden.
San Francisco - Alphabet's parent company Google is reportedly about to sign a multi-billion dollar agreement with US power provider Constellation Energy for the supply of nuclear energy. Financial news agency Bloomberg cited sources indicating the deal could be announced this week, after Google and Constellation declined to comment on Monday.
The scope and location of the potential capacity were unclear. While current deals have focused on existing plants, as building new reactors takes a decade or more for licensing and construction, the next generation of nuclear power plants is still years away from widespread use. Amazon had also recently entered into a similar agreement with Constellation, committing to 690 megawatts of electricity. Some of this capacity could come from upgrading the Calvert Cliffs nuclear power plant in Maryland.
