Agreement adds new baseload supply to the PJM grid equivalent to a new nuclear reactor

Constellation to deploy Google Cloud and Gemini Enterprise to build the "AI for Energy" blueprint for next-generation grid operations to improve affordability and resiliency

Google and Constellation Energy today announced a long-term strategic clean energy collaboration to bring 890 megawatts (MW) of new, reliable nuclear capacity onto the PJM Interconnection grid to meet growing demand and increase grid reliability.

The 20-year power purchase agreement will enable investments in new equipment and technology at 11 Constellation-owned nuclear units in Illinois, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, increasing thermal and electrical efficiency to unlock additional reliable, firm power to serve the grid. This capacity is entirely new, expanding total electricity generation available across the PJM footprint. The agreement helps sustain roughly 4,400 existing jobs, creates approximately 7,200 new construction jobs during the building period and represents more than $4.3 billion of new investment by Constellation.

In addition to expanding nuclear generation, the companies entered into a 15-year energy supply agreement for an additional 2,700 MWs in PJM’s fleet. This financial structure ensures that Constellation’s operating generation assets continue to deliver energy and capacity to the PJM market.

Constellation also selected Google Cloud and Gemini Enterprise under an expanded five-year technology alliance to establish an "AI for energy" blueprint that will accelerate capacity delivery, optimize asset dispatch, and protect critical infrastructure. For communities served by Constellation Energy, the aim is to use AI to reduce the costs of new infrastructure, improve performance, ensure enough power is generated to meet rising demand, and safeguard the energy grid they rely on.
