Amazon Funds New Nuclear Plant Project in Indiana
Amazon has partnered with X-energy and American Electric Power to finance a modern nuclear energy facility in Indiana. The project plans to take over a former coal plant site to supply carbon-free electricity to both the local power grid and corporate data centers. The proposed site intends to utilize twelve advanced small modular reactors designed for flexible cooling options. This initiative forms part of a broader corporate trend where major technology firms invest heavily in atomic energy to satisfy the massive electricity demands of artificial intelligence infrastructure.
