Constellation Energy Considering Small Modular Reactors for Nuclear Expansion to Meet Data Center Demand

According to recent developments, Constellation Energy is contemplating expanding its nuclear power generation capabilities at its current locations in the United States. This decision may be prompted by the increasing demand for large power loads from clients such as data centers. The company has disclosed that it is assessing the feasibility of implementing small modular reactors and other innovative power technologies at its existing sites, which would be financed through multi-year power purchasing agreements with customers. These initiatives were revealed by top executives from Constellation during a press conference held in New York City on May 9th, as reported by Reuters.
