    Department of Energy Announces a New Multi-Billion-Dollar Nuclear Energy Deal

    The Department of Energy announced a $4.2 billion loan commitment to Vistra to extend and upgrade three nuclear plants in Pennsylvania and Ohio, preserving 4 GW of power and adding 433 MW of new capacity. This deal is part of Trump's broader initiative to quadruple U.S. nuclear capacity to 400 GW by 2050. Meta has already signed a 20-year power purchase agreement with Vistra for 2,609 MW from these plants, highlighting how existing reactor owners are positioned to benefit most from the nuclear renaissance driven by AI energy demands.
