Google Leads Big Tech Nuclear Push With 890 MW Uprate Deal

Google is leading a push by major technology companies to expand data-center power supplies through existing U.S. nuclear plants, with an 890-megawatt project designed to add capacity faster than building a new reactor. Google and Constellation Energy agreed Oct. 6, 2026, to increase output across 11 nuclear units in Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey under a 20-year power purchase agreement. The project represents more than $4.3 billion in investment, with the first uprate expected in 2028 and completion targeted for the early 2030s. The agreement also includes a separate 15-year contract covering 2,700 megawatts from Constellation’s PJM fleet.
