AWS dealt major blow in nuclear-powered data center deal after regulators reject upgrade plans


US regulators have refused approval for an increase in the amount of energy set to be supplied to an Amazon data center directly connected to a nuclear power plant.

Finding new energy sources has become increasingly necessary as hyperscalers like AWS seek to power the rise of AI. Because of that, in March, AWS shelled out $650 million in a deal with Talen Energy to buy the Cumulus nuclear-powered data center campus, located alongside the 2.5 gigawatt Susquehanna station in Pennsylvania.
