"Billion Dollar Boost for U.S. Nuclear Power: Unlocking AI Energy Dominance"
Energy Secretary Chris Wright announced major developments this week that signal a significant shift in the nation's energy strategy. On November 19th, Wright revealed that the Trump administration is committing one billion dollars in federal loans to restart the Three Mile Island nuclear facility in Pennsylvania, now called the Crane Clean Energy Center. The 835 megawatt reactor is expected to come back online in 2027 and will generate enough electricity to power roughly 800,000 homes.
Wright emphasized that this restart will lower electricity costs and strengthen grid reliability across the Mid-Atlantic region. The facility had been retired since 2019 but never fully decommissioned. This move is particularly significant because it positions the United States to secure critical energy resources needed for artificial intelligence datacenters. Microsoft signed a 20 year power purchase agreement with Constellation Energy for electricity from this plant as part of efforts to decarbonize its operations.
In addition to the Three Mile Island restart, Wright discussed another nuclear facility in southwestern Michigan that will be returning to service early next year. The administration is also extending the life of a 1.5 gigawatt coal power plant in southwest Michigan through emergency authorities.
Beyond domestic energy initiatives, Wright highlighted an international partnership announced by President Trump. The administration reached an agreement with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for civil nuclear energy cooperation, representing what officials describe as the beginning of a trillion dollar partnership. According to Wright, American companies will build a large nuclear power plant in Saudi Arabia using American technology. He clarified that the agreement focuses exclusively on civilian electricity generation and does not include uranium enrichment or any weapons related activities. A formal 123 agreement will be submitted to Congress for approval.
When discussing global nuclear developments, Wright addressed concerns about China expanding its nuclear test site. He stated that the administration carefully monitors activities by China, Russia, and other countries, but emphasized that President Trump's strategy focuses on achieving peace through prosperity, satisfied populations through trade, and strength. Wright believes that maintaining American military superiority by a large margin over potential rivals is the path to peace.
Wright's announcements reflect the Trump administration's broader energy agenda aimed at bringing affordable, reliable electricity to American consumers while positioning the nation competitively in the global AI race.
