Amazon Secures Data Center Campus from Talen Energy
Amazon Web Services (AWS) has expanded its infrastructure with the acquisition of Cumulus Data, a 960MW data center campus at a nuclear power station in Pennsylvania, from Talen Energy for $650 million. This move underlines Amazon's commitment to boosting its cloud services capacity with environmentally considerate power sources, as the data center will draw clean, carbon-free energy from the neighboring Susquehanna Steam Electric Station. The deal also includes a 10-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for AWS to receive energy from the site, showcasing a strategic blend of digital infrastructure expansion and sustainable energy utilization.
- The acquisition underpins Amazon's strategic investments in sustainable and scalable cloud infrastructure, leveraging nuclear power as a green energy source.
- This deal is part of broader trends where tech giants are increasingly investing in environmentally friendly solutions for their energy-intensive data centers.
