Georgia Power, Google strike nuclear uprate deal worth $900M
Georgia Power and Google have agreed to a $900 million nuclear uprate deal. The arrangement links Google’s power demand to additional output from an existing nuclear asset, creating a new corporate route to secure electricity for data centers.
The agreement between Georgia Power and Google is valued at $900 million and concerns a nuclear uprate, or an increase in the generating capacity of an existing nuclear facility. The deal was reported on Sept. 21, 2026.
It connects a major electricity customer with a utility investment aimed at producing more nuclear power. The arrangement comes as technology companies seek dependable electricity for expanding data-center loads and utilities look for ways to finance additional generation from operating plants.
Google is the named corporate participant, while Georgia Power is the utility responsible for the nuclear asset and the uprate project. For Google, the mechanism is access to additional nuclear-generated electricity; for Georgia Power, the deal creates a large commercial commitment tied to higher plant output.
The precise reactor, capacity increase, payment schedule and contractual structure are not specified in the available details. The timing of the additional generation and the regulatory steps required for the uprate are also open questions.
The next markers are the project’s regulatory milestones, construction or implementation timetable, and any later disclosures that quantify the added capacity and Google’s electricity obligations.
Google agreed to a $900 million Georgia Power deal to increase output from an existing nuclear facility.
The agreement gives Google a defined path to additional nuclear power as data-center electricity demand expands, complementing a FY2025 revenue base of $402.8B that grew 15.1% year over year. The trade-off is that the $900M commitment creates a substantial long-term power expense, and the commercial benefit depends on when the uprated capacity becomes available; Google’s next quarterly results on Oct. 28 should provide the next dated test of demand and infrastructure spending.
The read fails if the nuclear uprate is delayed, delivers limited incremental capacity, or adds costs without materially improving Google’s power availability.

Google’s $402.8B FY2025 revenue base and 15.1% year-over-year growth give the company scale to secure firm nuclear power for continued data-center expansion.
The $900M commitment is a fixed commercial obligation, and the project’s capacity and timing remain unspecified.
