Amazon to spend $20B on data centers in Pennsylvania, including one next to a nuclear power plant
- On June 9, 2025, Amazon revealed plans to invest $20 billion in developing two data center facilities in Pennsylvania, one of which will be located adjacent to the Susquehanna nuclear power plant.
- This investment follows Amazon's 2024 acquisition of a Talen Energy data center and rising demand for data centers driven by cloud computing and artificial intelligence growth.
- The Susquehanna plant arrangement provides up to 960 megawatts through a 'behind the meter' connection, a first for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which has delayed approval over grid fairness concerns.
- Governor Josh Shapiro highlighted that Amazon’s commitment represents Pennsylvania’s biggest private sector investment ever, projecting the creation of at least 1,250 new jobs and advancing AI development throughout the state.
- Amazon's expansion reflects a strategic shift toward carbon-free nuclear power and faster power procurement, with the buildout likely affecting Pennsylvania's economic and energy landscapes.
