Amazon is funding a new nuclear plant in Indiana

Amazon has signed agreements with X-energy and American Electric Power to fund a new nuclear energy facility in Indiana. This project involves deploying 12 small nuclear reactors at the site of the defunct coal-fueled Breed Generating Station in Sullivan County. The proposed plant aims to provide up to 960 megawatts of carbon-free electricity to the regional grid, effectively replacing the former coal plant with nearly 1 gigawatt of clean energy to support power requirements.
