Meta just saved an Illinois nuclear plant that was set to be mothballed
Meta has signed a 20-year deal with Constellation Energy to keep the lights on at an Illinois nuke plant that was facing an uncertain future once state subsidies dry up in 2027.
The deal, announced today by both Meta and Constellation, will keep the Clinton Clean Energy Center operating beyond the end of Illinois’ zero-emission credit program in 2027, and includes a 30MW uprate that will boost the plant’s total capacity to 1,121MW, according to the pair.
