Trump administration offers $5B loan to nuclear plants to power data centers
The Trump administration will lend Constellation Energy $5B to expand output at eight nuclear plants by about 1.1 GW, with uprates planned across 11 existing reactors. Most or all of the added power at seven of the plants is already booked by Google, Meta or Amazon. Why it matters: it ties federal nuclear financing directly to AI data-center demand, showing how power supply has become a bottleneck for the AI build-out.
