Explore this event on the interactive timeline →The exponential scaling of AI data centers caused electricity demand to skyrocket, forcing tech giants to turn back to the ultimate carbon-free baseload power source: Nuclear Fission.
Key Numbers
- PPA Buyer
- Microsoft (20 Years)
- Dedicated AI Power
- 835 Megawatts (MW)
Verified Facts
- In late 2025, Constellation Energy secured a $1 Billion DOE loan to restart Unit 1 of the infamous Three Mile Island nuclear plant (rebranded the Crane Clean Energy Center).
- Microsoft signed an unprecedented 20-year Power Purchase Agreement to buy 100% of the plant’s 835 MW output purely to power its AI data centers.
- This marked a massive turning point where the hyperscalers (Microsoft, Google, Amazon) effectively took over the energy grid, funding the revival of nuclear power to sustain the AI race.
