NEW YORK (Reuters) - Talen Energy is asking a U.S. appeals court to weigh in on a decision by federal regulators last year to reject a power agreement for an Amazon data center connected directly to Talen's Pennsylvania nuclear plant, according to court filings this week.
As Big Tech attempts to quickly scale its massive AI data centers, placing the centers directly at power plant sites in an arrangement known as co-location has become an attractive prospect for the industry to get massive amounts of electricity fast.
