Amazon's 20-year, 690 MW power deal with Constellation backs more than $3 billion of work at Calvert Cliffs, including a 190 MW uprate due in 2030-32. Only that 190 MW is new output, and it still has to clear NRC reviews that have not been scheduled.

Amazon signed a 20-year deal for 690 MW from Constellation's Calvert Cliffs nuclear plant, backing a 190 MW uprate due between 2030 and 2032. Most of the contracted power is output the plant already makes, so the deal is mainly a long cost arrangement for Amazon on power that other PJM buyers share.

Google has contracted about 92 percent of Duane Arnold's output for a quarter century, which is what made the restart financeable. The money itself is federal debt, and the Energy Department will not say what any of it does to Iowa household bills.
