Landmark agreement combines the environmental attributes of up to 35% nuclear power with hourly carbon-free energy matching to help a Virginia data center operate on nearly 100% clean power.
Key takeaways:
1. Time-aligned nuclear attributes of up to 35% of Microsoft’s data center usage complement Microsoft’s new wind and solar.
2. Performance tracked on Constellation’s Azure-based hourly matching platform.
3. Corresponding timestamped, sub-MWh EACs retired in PJM GATS.
Next steps:
1. Scale the product to other interested customers.
2. Support the development of hourly CFE matching in other regions.
