Google (GOOGL.US) spends $4.3 billions on electricity, securing 3,590 megawatts of long-term energy from Constellation Energy (CEG.US).
Google has signed a 3,590 MW power purchase agreement with Constellation Energy, with a quarter of the electricity coming from nuclear power, involving an investment of $4.3 billion.
According to Jinse Finance APP, Google (GOOGL.US) has signed a contract with Constellation Energy (CEG.US), the largest power grid operator in the United States, to purchase 3,590 megawatts of electricity, with newly built nuclear power accounting for about a quarter of this supply.
The two companies stated that the agreement will bring in more than $4.3 billion of new investment for Constellation and involves upgrading several nuclear reactors owned by the power company in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions.
Large tech companies are racing to secure vast supplies of electricity across the United States to power data centers, reaching unprecedented agreements with American power companies.
In the past two years, Constellation announced an agreement to restart the Three Mile Island nuclear reactor in Pennsylvania to serve Microsoft’s data center, while Google signed a deal to restart NextEra Energy’s nuclear plant in Iowa.
In the latest package of arrangements, Google has signed a 20-year power purchase agreement to procure 890 megawatts of electricity from multiple Constellation-operated nuclear plants. These nuclear plants will be upgraded to produce more power from existing reactors.
The two companies stated that power from the first upgraded plant is expected to be delivered in 2028.
Google has also signed a long-term supply agreement to purchase an additional 2,700 megawatts of electricity from Constellation in the PJM region. Google noted that this portion of electricity is not tied to a specific source and is intended to provide long-term revenue certainty for Constellation’s operating plants.
Headquartered in Maryland, Constellation is the United States’ largest nuclear power plant operator and also owns a fleet of large natural gas power plants.
Amanda Peterson Corio, Google’s Global Head of Energy and Electricity, said in a statement, “We are committed to responsibly meeting our own growth, actively investing in clean, reliable electricity, and bringing new capacity to our country’s power grid.”
As part of the deal with Google, 11 nuclear units expected to be upgraded are located in Illinois, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, within the coverage area of PJM Interconnection, the largest power grid in the United States.
PJM management has proposed that data center customers connected to the power grid in 13 states either provide their own electricity or face the risk of being remotely disconnected from the grid during peak usage times.
The two companies stated that the agreement between Google and Constellation is a direct response to PJM's “bring your own power” proposal.

Updated version 3 - Becton Dickinson commits to invest 19 billion dollars in an agreement with the government.
BD will invest $3 billion to expand its manufacturing operations in the United States, aiming to increase the proportion of critical medical supplies sourced domestically to approximately 80%. The agreement links the company’s U.S. manufacturing commitments to tariff relief. Information about the stock price was added in the third paragraph, analyst commentary in the sixth paragraph, and background information in the eleventh paragraph. Siddhi Mahatole, Reuters, October 6 — Becton Dickinson and Company (BDX.N) has become the first major U.S. medical device manufacturer to sign an agreement with the U.S. government to expand domestic manufacturing, with a pledge to invest $19 billion in the coming years in exchange for protection against future tariffs. Under the agreement, the company said on Tuesday it plans to make capital, operational, and supply chain investments in the U.S., with $3 billion specifically allocated to strategic manufacturing facilities across the country. Shares of the medical device maker rose 2.4% in early trading. This deal is one of several measures by the Trump administration to encourage domestic healthcare manufacturing through the threat of tariffs, with several major pharmaceutical companies having already committed billions of dollars toward building and expanding production and R&D facilities in the U.S. The agreement ties BD’s U.S. manufacturing commitments to future exemptions from tariffs on related products and raw materials under Section 232, depending on the final scope of the measures and whether the company achieves agreed-upon milestones. Jefferies analyst Matthew Taylor commented, “We believe clarity on tariff policy, or tariff impacts being potentially ‘not as bad as feared,’ could be an inflection point for the medtech sector.” He added, “We are curious if there are more medtech-related announcements pending.” The company plans to increase annual U.S. production by around 5 billion basic medical supply units, raising the domestic supply share to roughly 80%. BD also intends to use U.S.-made steel to manufacture all needles for the U.S. market domestically. Becton Dickinson stated that, as the final tariff rates, product range, and implementation timelines remain undetermined, the financial impact of the agreement has not been quantified yet. This announcement builds on President Donald Trump’s Monday statement that the company has agreed to invest $3 billion to shift basic medical product manufacturing to the U.S., with more than $1 billion allocated to Nebraska. In January this year, Becton Dickinson announced a $110 million investment to expand the production of prefilled syringes and needles in Columbus, Nebraska, expected to create about 120 jobs. Syringe products are expected to start shipping to customers by mid-2026.
