Amazon to Fund 12 Small Nuclear Reactors at Former Indiana Coal Plant

Amazon announced it will fund a project to install 12 small nuclear reactors at a former coal plant in Indiana. The partnership with X‑Energy aims to bring nearly 1 gigawatt of clean electricity to the U. S. grid. The reactors, which are smaller than traditional nuclear plants, are designed for rapid deployment and lower upfront costs. The project marks a new step for Amazon’s climate strategy, expanding its investment in low‑carbon energy sources beyond renewables. The former coal site will be repurposed to host the reactors, potentially revitalizing the local economy while reducing emissions.
