Google backs 890 megawatts of nuclear upgrades, with first output expected in 2028.
Google and Constellation announced a 20-year power agreement on Tuesday, backing 890 megawatts of additional nuclear generation.
Constellation plans equipment upgrades at 11 reactor units across six sites in Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
It expects the first added output in 2028.
Upgrading turbines and other equipment can raise output at reactors already in service, and Google says its support will help finance the work.
The company has also signed a separate 15-year supply agreement for 2,700 megawatts from Constellation's existing fleet.
That power is already available to the grid.
It isn't another 2,700 megawatts of new generation.
Not completed construction.
The additional 890 megawatts aren't operating today.
The useful checks are the 2028 delivery target, approved upgrades, and measured added output.
Existing supply contracts remain separate from new generation.
