Talen Energy has urged U.S. regulators to dismiss a challenge filed by electric utilities, including American Electric Power and Exelon, against its agreement with Amazon for a data center. The deal involves selling electricity and a data center campus from a Pennsylvania nuclear power plant to Amazon Web Services, providing an electric capacity of up to 960 megawatts. The utilities claim the agreement could lead to increased costs for ratepayers, while Talen argues that rejecting the deal could hinder data center expansion and discourage new power plant construction amidst growing U.S. electricity demand.
