Google teams with nuclear power giant to give reactors a tune-up

Google’s long-term power deal with Constellation Energy underscores how AI-era infrastructure strategy is shifting from a cost question to a capacity and resilience question: hyperscalers now need guaranteed access to large-scale, reliable electricity to sustain datacenter and GPU growth. For CIOs and technology leaders, the key implication is that compute planning, site selection, and cloud strategy increasingly depend on energy partnerships, grid constraints, and multi-year utility negotiations—not just hardware and software roadmaps.
