Amazon Partners to Finance New Nuclear Plant in Indiana

Amazon has entered into an agreement with X‑energy and American Electric Power (AEP) to help fund a new nuclear power project in Indiana. The plan calls for a plant that would replace the shuttered coal‑fired Breed Generating Station in Fairbanks, Sullivan County, and deliver up to 960 megawatts of carbon‑free electricity to the regional grid and to Amazon’s data centers. A digital rendering released by the company offers a glimpse of the future facility’s appearance. While no construction or operating schedule has been set, Amazon says the project could generate roughly 1,000 construction jobs and about 100 permanent positions. The Indiana site is slated to host 12 Xe‑100 small modular reactors, an advanced design that has yet to be proven in commercial use. The full story was reported by The Verge.
