Microsoft And Constellation Energy Plan To Restart Pennsylvania's Three Mile Island Nuclear Plant

MIDDLETOWN, PENNSYLVANIA - OCTOBER 10: in this aerial view, the shuttered Three Mile Island nuclear power plant stands in the middle of the Susquehanna River on October 10, 2024 near Middletown, Pennsylvania. The plant’s owner, Constellation Energy, plans to spend $1.6 billion to refurbish the reactor that it closed five years ago and restart it by 2028 after Microsoft recently agreed to buy as much electricity as the plant can produce for the next 20 years to power its growing fleet of data centers. The shuttered plant is the site of the worst nuclear reactor accident in United States history when one of the plant’s two reactors melted down in 1979. (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)
