Three Mile Island nuclear power plant plans to restart its reactor under a 20-year agreement with Microsoft. This deal aims to supply carbon-free energy to Microsoft's data centers, aligning with its goal to be carbon negative by 2030. Constellation Energy, the plant's owner, hopes to bring Unit 1 online by 2028 after significant restoration investments.
The revival of nuclear power is seen as a solution to the growing electricity demand from data centers. The agreement reflects a broader trend of reconsidering nuclear energy to combat climate change and ensure electric reliability. With the U.S. facing an electric reliability crisis, this partnership could play a crucial role in meeting future energy needs.
• Microsoft's commitment to carbon negativity drives nuclear energy partnership.
