Amazon Web Services will acquire a major data center campus from Talen Energy Corporation that is located next to Talen’s nuclear power plant in northeast Pennsylvania.
The deal is valued at $650 million.
The 1,200-acre data center campus will have access to 960-megawatts of clean, carbon-free, nuclear power.
“We are pleased today to have sold our Cumulus data center campus, unlocking significant value for Talen,” said Talen President and Chief Executive Officer Mac McFarland. “This transaction provides an attractive return on Talen’s investment and vision in building Cumulus, and creates value through the sale of clean carbon-free power from our top-decile Susquehanna nuclear plant.”
