  "account": "New York, October 6 - Google has signed a massive 20-year power purchase agreement with Constellation Energy to secure 3,590 megawatts of electricity for its data centers across the United States. According to the companies, about a quarter of this power will come from nuclear energy. This deal is anticipated to result in over $4.3 billion in new investments for Constellation Energy. The electricity will primarily be generated by upgrading several of the company's nuclear reactors in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions, with the first of these upgrades expected to commence in 2028.\n\nThe agreement is a response to the recent proposal by PJM, the largest US electric grid, which requires data center customers connected to the 13-state grid to either provide their own power or risk being disconnected remotely during peak demand. The companies stated that this deal aims to meet growth responsibly by investing in clean, reliable power to strengthen the nation's grids.\n\nAmanda Peterson Corio, Google's global head of energy and power, expressed Google's commitment to this objective. The 11 nuclear units involved in this deal are located in Illinois, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, within the PJM Interconnection's jurisdiction.",
