AWS Salem Township Nuclear Campus
- Contracted
- 1,920 MW

- Oct 28, 2026
Talen’s May 2026 filing confirms that the revised AWS power-purchase agreement transitioned to a front-of-the-meter model in April 2026. The agreement’s up-to-1,920 MW scope remains a contractual supply boundary, not a measurement of operating IT load. Amazon Web Services’ Salem Township campus is adjacent to Talen Energy’s Susquehanna nuclear station in Pennsylvania. Talen and Amazon expanded their long-term arrangement to supply up to 1,920 MW by 2032, subject to staged delivery, grid, regulatory and construction milestones. This is contracted electricity supply, not current operating IT capacity.
This record and AWS Susquehanna/Cumulus cover development beside the Susquehanna nuclear plant and the Talen supply arrangement. Their supply figures overlap and are not additive. Related record
