Amazon plans to back 12 small nuclear reactors at former Indiana coal plant through X-energy deal

The cloud and retail giant is reported to be working with X-energy on a nuclear deployment designed to supply close to 1 gigawatt of electricity from a retired coal site in Indiana.

Amazon is moving further into nuclear power development, according to a report from Yahoo Finance, which says the company will fund 12 small nuclear reactors at a former coal plant in Indiana in partnership with X-energy.

The reported project is intended to generate nearly 1 gigawatt of electricity, using what are generally referred to as “small” or “small modular” nuclear reactors, a category of technology built to scale deployments in phases rather than constructing a single, large unit at once. Developers and utilities often describe the approach as a way to reduce schedule and financing risk compared with traditional, one-off nuclear builds.

Under the arrangement described by Yahoo Finance, Amazon and X-energy have “inked another deal” to bring nuclear generation to the grid, indicating continued momentum in Amazon’s push to secure low-carbon power for its operations. The article frames the Indiana effort as part of a broader pattern: corporate demand for firm, clean electricity is becoming a key driver of new power projects.

The location is notable because repurposing legacy energy sites can reduce permitting and infrastructure hurdles. In this case, Yahoo Finance characterizes the deployment as taking place at a former Indiana coal plant, suggesting the project may rely on existing grid connections and site infrastructure already associated with power generation.

X-energy is the reactor developer named in the report. While the details provided in the Yahoo Finance post are limited, the core takeaway is that the company is continuing to pursue commercial deployments with large electricity buyers rather than relying exclusively on utility-led procurement.

From Amazon’s perspective, nuclear power addresses a problem that has cropped up across the corporate clean-energy market: some low-carbon sources, such as wind and solar, can be intermittent, while nuclear generation can provide steady output. That matters for large data center and cloud footprints that seek reliability alongside emissions goals.

Sector context matters as well. The last several years have seen a growing willingness from technology and industrial companies to underwrite new energy infrastructure, often through long-term offtake agreements. Those deals can help project developers obtain financing and can give buyers a pathway to secure large amounts of “firm” electricity with lower lifecycle emissions than fossil fuels.

Still, major specifics were not disclosed in the Yahoo Finance description, including contract pricing, the project’s timeline, and the ownership structure for the reactors and fuel cycle arrangements. It also does not clarify whether Amazon’s role is limited to funding, includes a long-term power purchase, or extends to other commitments that would affect the pace of construction. Until further details are released, the commercial terms and schedule remain uncertain.

Why It Matters

  • If the project proceeds, it would represent a large-scale corporate backing of nuclear capacity, a category that has been difficult to expand quickly in many markets.
  • Repurposing a retired coal site could potentially lower barriers tied to interconnection and site development compared with building from scratch.
  • For Amazon, firm clean power supply could help stabilize energy procurement for data centers and cloud operations.
  • The arrangement, as described, underscores how technology companies increasingly use long-horizon power contracts and funding to influence the build-out of electricity generation.
