Amazon to fund 12 X-energy Xe-100 small modular reactors at former Indiana coal plant site, operated by AEP
Amazon is funding development of a proposed 960-megawatt nuclear plant near Terre Haute, Indiana, and would be the first customer for its power, according to an announcement on Monday. American Electric Power (AEP) would operate the plant, and X-energy would supply 12 Xe-100 small modular reactors. The site is a demolished coal plant. The reactors would connect to the public grid, though Amazon says the power would also serve its data centers. This is the second commercial agreement between Amazon and X-energy and is three times larger than the first. The timeline depends on X-energy delivering its first plant at the Seadrift site of Dow Chemical in Texas, where construction has not begun and the company is the subject of a Texas lawsuit alleging environmental non-compliance. The article describes industry and business news with no cybersecurity incident, vulnerability or threat activity.
