Microsoft has signed a deal to bring Three Mile Island back online to power its AI ambitions. The deal will see a nuclear plant powering Microsoft’s data centers.
Microsoft just signed a deal to revive the shuttered Three Mile Island nuclear power plant. If approved by regulators, the software maker would have exclusive rights to 100 percent of the output for its AI data center needs. Constellation, the owner of the Three Mile Island plant, announced a power purchase agreement with Microsoft earlier today, which should see the site coming back online in 2028, assuming regulators approve it.
Microsoft’s own greenhouse gas emissions are growing with its focus on AI, putting its ambitious climate goals at risk. Bloomberg reports that this nuclear plant would help Microsoft’s plans to run its data centers on clean energy by 2025 and power data center expansions in Chicago, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Ohio.
