Record Notes

Amazon announced at least $20 billion of Pennsylvania investment to expand cloud computing infrastructure and AI innovation campuses, with Salem Township and Falls Township identified as the first communities. Pennsylvania officials describe the investment as a statewide AI infrastructure program anchored in Luzerne County and Bucks County.

ADCI keeps the selected 1,920 MW value, but classifies it as a contracted nuclear power-supply envelope rather than Amazon campus IT load. Talen's SEC-filed June 2025 release says Talen will provide Amazon with 1,920 MW of carbon-free nuclear power at full contract quantity through 2042, ramping to full volume no later than 2032. The agreement uses a front-of-the-meter structure: Susquehanna supplies power to the PJM grid, Talen acts as Amazon's retail electric generation supplier, and PPL handles transmission and delivery. Talen's Powering Data page says the agreement supports Amazon operations at the Susquehanna-adjacent campus and other sites throughout Pennsylvania.
