Amazon AWS has acquired a nuclear-powered data center in Pennsylvania for $650 million, marking a significant investment towards powering its data centers with cleaner energy. The Cumulus data center, co-located with a nuclear plant, could be developed to reach up to 960MW in the coming years. This move has been hailed by nuclear advocates and journalists as a major breakthrough, despite some questioning the additionality of this procurement. The acquisition aligns with the growing demand for electricity by data centers worldwide, which now consume more power than entire countries. The industry is under pressure to control power use and costs, with initiatives like the Data Center Frontier Trends Summit, set for Sept. 4-6 in Reston, VA, focusing on trends impacting the marketplace, including energy efficiency. Meanwhile, Polar Signals has secured $6.8 million in seed funding to help developers build high-performance software, indicating a broader industry focus on efficiency and performance.

So Amazon just procured a data center adjacent to an existing nuclear plant, with apparently zero additionality, and nuclear advocates & journalists are hailing it as a major breakthrough... why?
This is a staggering fact from @JigarShah: We need to supply 200,000 GWHs of annual data center load growth by 2030. I agree that the lion's share will come from #newnuclear. @DCVC's advanced fission portfolio co @Oklo is leading the charge here! https://t.co/kV9Mx7AQbY
