Google and Constellation Agree on Long-Term Power Deal

Google has announced a long-term strategic energy partnership with U.S. energy company Constellation, encompassing a total capacity of nearly 3.6 gigawatts (GW) of electricity. The agreement aims to secure energy supply and support Google's growing operational needs.

The 3.59 GW capacity is divided into two parts: 890 megawatts (MW) will be from new nuclear capacity, expected to come online between 2028 and 2032, with a duration of 20 years. An additional 2.7 GW is flexible capacity, lasting for 15 years. With Google's financial backing, Constellation will upgrade 11 of its nuclear power plant units across multiple states, creating approximately 7,200 construction jobs during the engineering and construction phases.

As part of a broader commercial agreement, Constellation and Google Cloud are establishing a five-year expanded technology alliance. This collaboration focuses on creating an "energy AI" blueprint to accelerate capacity delivery, optimize asset scheduling, and protect critical infrastructure.

Furthermore, Google and Constellation have entered into a strategic framework agreement to explore opportunities for developing new clean energy generation, energy storage, and demand response technologies across the United States. This initiative is intended to support Google's ongoing business growth and sustainability goals.
