Vinson & Elkins said Partner Kaam Sahely is leading the firm’s team to represent Talen Energy Corp. (Nasdaq: TLN) in the expansion of its nuclear relationship with Amazon.com, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMZN).
The agreement will allow Talen to supply carbon-free energy from its Susquehanna nuclear power plant to Amazon Web Services (AWS) data centers in Pennsylvania and the region, the law firm said in a statement.
“Talen is well-positioned to support Amazon’s energy needs as it invests further in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,” said Mac McFarland, Talen President and CEO.
Talen will provide Amazon with 1,920 megawatts at the full contract quantity, and both companies will also consider building new Small Modular Reactors, Vinson & Elkins stated.
“Amazon is proud to help Pennsylvania advance AI innovation through investments in the Commonwealth’s economic and energy future,” said Kevin Miller, AWS Vice President of Global Data Centers. “That’s why we’re making the largest private sector investment in state history – $20B – to bring 1,250 high-skilled jobs and economic benefits to the state.”
