- Tech giants are seeking direct deals with power plants to ensure reliable energy for data centers, avoiding the congested electric grid.
- The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has blocked a deal that would send 960 megawatts to an Amazon Web Services data center near the Susquehanna nuclear plant.
- The deal could generate $140 million in electricity sales by 2028 for Talen Energy, the majority owner of Susquehanna.
- FERC's decision will set a precedent for future energy deals and could impact the availability of power for other users.
