Talen Energy
firm
A deal to plug a data center straight into a nuclear plant got blocked by regulators — a sign of the coming fights over who gets the electricity.
Who they are
Talen Energy, operator of the Susquehanna nuclear plant.
What they do
It's an energy company at the center of a documented clash over powering big tech directly from a nuclear station.
How it works
Its plan to let an Amazon data center draw power directly from the Susquehanna plant was rejected by federal regulators (FERC) in a 2-1 vote on November 1, 2024.
Why it matters
The engine treats it as an 'energy fault line' — an early flashpoint in the escalating competition between data centers and the power grid.
