Constellation Energy has agreed to sell power from an Illinois nuclear plant to Meta Platforms as artificial intelligence sends power demand soaring.
The parent company of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp signed a 20-year contract to buy 1121 megawatts from the Clinton plant starting in mid-2027, when a state subsidy expires, according to a statement on Tuesday (Wednesday AEST). Constellation, the biggest US nuclear operator, and Meta did not provide financial details.
