Talen Energy Corporation has expanded its nuclear energy agreement with Amazon.
The new long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) will provide up to 1,920 megawatts of carbon-free electricity from the Susquehanna nuclear power plant.
The clean energy will support Amazon Web Services (AWS) data centers, including those focused on artificial intelligence and cloud technologies.
Talen will supply carbon-free power to Amazon through 2042, with an option to extend.
Delivery will gradually ramp up, reaching full volume by 2032, with potential for acceleration.
Talen and Amazon plan to explore deploying Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) within Talen's Pennsylvania footprint.
They will also evaluate opportunities to increase Susquehanna's energy output via uprates.
The partnership aligns with Amazon's ongoing $20 billion investment in Pennsylvania.
The agreement secures over 900 existing jobs at the Susquehanna plant and is expected to generate additional opportunities.
