Nuclear PPAs typically pair with co-located reactors because moving nuclear power across the grid is more expensive than building generation next to the load. Post 003 cites Talen and Three Mile Island as the early co-located-nuclear templates.
Institutional capital is reshaping data center power through co-located generation, shifting from traditional PPAs to integrated behind-the-meter structures. The $50 billion KKR/ECP partnership signals this is a multi-decade asset class, not a cycle.
NVIDIA / Emerald AI's flexible-AI-factory coalition, Microsoft / NVIDIA's AI for Nuclear, NVIDIA / Hitachi's 800V data-center power architecture, Amazon's 5 GW X-energy SMR commitment, and Google's Project Matador together rewrite the tech-energy interface from PPA buyer to private-grid developer.
