Google Funds 96 MW Nuclear Capacity Expansion at Georgia Power Plants
GOOG sits 49% above its 52-week low of $236.685.
Summary
Alphabet agreed to fund capacity increases at two nuclear plants operated by a Southern Co. subsidiary, adding about 96 megawatts of new supply. The deal addresses surging electricity demand from data centers, a critical constraint for Google's AI and cloud expansion. This follows Alphabet's massive capex guidance of $180–$190B for 2026 and $350B+ for 2027, signaling a direct investment in power infrastructure rather than just purchasing energy. For Southern Co., the agreement provides capital for nuclear expansion without bearing the full cost. The move underscores how hyperscalers are securing dedicated clean energy to support AI workloads.
