Amazon to fund proposed nuclear plant in Indiana on former coal station site

Amazon has signed an agreement with X-energy and American Electric Power to finance a new nuclear energy facility in Indiana. The proposed plant would be built on the site of the now-closed Breed Generating Station in Sullivan County, which previously ran on coal. It is designed to supply up to 960 megawatts of carbon-free power to the regional grid and to Amazon's data centers.
