On October 6, 2026, Google and Constellation Energy announced a landmark agreement to add 890 megawatts (MW) of nuclear capacity to the PJM grid. This collaboration is part of a long-term power purchase agreement worth over $1 billion, aimed at enhancing the reliability of the energy supply. The deal will involve upgrades at 11 nuclear plants across Illinois, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, creating approximately 7,200 construction jobs while sustaining 4,400 existing jobs. The agreement is a response to the growing electricity demand driven by the artificial intelligence boom, as nuclear power provides a stable, emissions-free energy source. Google has previously engaged in similar agreements with other energy producers to support the revival of dormant nuclear facilities. The deal is expected to significantly increase the efficiency of the nuclear plants involved, providing reliable power to approximately 67 million Americans in the PJM region.
