US Regulator Rejects Bid To Boost Nuclear Power To Amazon Data Center

In a dissenting statement, Phillips argued the deal with Amazon 'represents a 'first of its kind' co-located load configuration' and that Friday's decision is a 'step backward for both electric reliability and national security.' 'We are on the cusp of a new phase in the energy transition, one that is characterized as much by soaring energy demand, due in large part to AI, as it is by rapid changes in the resource mix,' Phillips wrote. Amazon purchased a 960-megawatt data center next to the Susquehanna power plant for $650 million earlier this year. Following the announcement, PJM sought to increase the amount of power running directly to the co-located data center. However, the move faced pushback from regional utilities, including Exelon and American Electric Power (AEP). Read more of this story at Slashdot.
