Constellation that refers to the Power Projects of the AI ​​Data Center connected to the network

New York (Reuters) -Constellation Energy is increasingly focusing on the possible projects of the data center that connect to the North -American mains on a pivot away from the company’s previous emphasis on feeding the giant server warehouses directly from its electric power plants, the company’s executives said on Tuesday.

The Big Tech breed to ensure large amounts of electricity to feed its expansion of artificial intelligence has led to new types of offers with electric companies, including so-called co-entitled arrangements that link AI data centers directly to nuclear plants, instead of waiting online to connect to the network.

These projects of co-electing data centers have faced the recent regulatory company on the potential for increasing energy invoices and network reliability impacts to divert electricity from the network to attend single customers such as data centers.

“Sales on the network are increasingly attractive to us and our customers,” said Constellation CEO Joseph Dominguez in a call with investors. “I want to make it clear that we still believe that the Master’s back configurations will make sense for some customers.”

Following a proposal for an expansion of an Amazon Data Center connected to a Talen’s nuclear energy site, the Federal Energy Regulation Commission is currently studying new rules for co-electing energy projects.

Constellation, which is the largest operator of nuclear power plants, had said in Ferc’s files that it was proposed by co-provided data data and outside the network in several of its nuclear reactor sites.
