Trump officials announce $1bn loan to restart Three Mile Island nuclear plant
Facility that was site of worst nuclear disaster in US history will provide power for Microsoft datacenters
Emine Sinmaz and agency, Guardian, 20Nov 25
The Trump administration has announced a $1bn federal loan to restart the
nuclear power plant at Pennsylvania’s Three Mile Island that is under
contract to provide power to Microsoft’s datacenters. The US energy
secretary, Chris Wright, said on Tuesday that the loan to Constellation
Energy, the plant’s operator, would “ensure America has the energy it
needs to grow its domestic manufacturing base and win the AI race”.
Constellation signed a 20-year purchase agreement in 2024 with Microsoft,
which needs power for its artificial intelligence operations, to restart
the 835MW reactor that shut in 2019. The other unit at the plant, renamed
the Crane Clean Energy Center, shut in 1979 after the most serious nuclear
meltdown and radiation leak in US history.
