Amazon to spend $20B on data centers in Pennsylvania, including one next to a nuclear power plant

PENNSYLVANIA, JUN 9 – Amazon's $20 billion investment will create 1,250 high-skilled jobs and innovation campuses powered largely by nuclear energy, marking Pennsylvania's largest private-sector infrastructure project.

  • On June 9, 2025, Amazon revealed plans to invest $20 billion in establishing two new cloud computing hubs in Pennsylvania, one of which will be located adjacent to a nuclear power facility.
  • This investment responds to increasing needs for cloud and AI technologies, building on Amazon’s commitment of over $26 billion to Pennsylvania through infrastructure and employee compensation since 2010.
  • One campus will be adjacent to the Susquehanna nuclear power station in Luzerne County, while the other will be at the Keystone Trade Center in Fairless Hills, a former U.S. Steel mill site.
  • Governor Josh Shapiro described the project as the biggest private investment ever made in Pennsylvania and noted it is projected to create at least 1,250 union jobs.
  • The deal involves a 'behind the meter' power arrangement with Talen Energy, which has faced regulatory delays by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, leaving its approval uncertain.
