Talen builds data center campus adjacent to Susquehanna nuclear station

Cumulus Data completed construction of the powered shell for its first 48-megawatt, 300,000 square foot data center located next to Talen Energy's Susquehanna nuclear station in northeast Pennsylvania. Cumulus Data is a subsidiary of Talen Energy.

Cumulus said its 1,200-acre campus will provide zero-carbon, low-cost, reliable energy thanks to nuclear power generation. The Cumulus data centers will be directly connected to the 2.5-gigawatt Susquehanna power stations, without intermediation by legacy electric transmission and distribution utilities, providing data center customers significant value and competitive advantages.

"Our flagship Cumulus Susquehanna data center campus is positioned to welcome its first tenant and commence commercial operations this year," said CEO Alejandro "Alex" Hernandez. "We look forward to advancing our mission to solve the energy 'trilemma' which we define as the rapidly increasing consumer demand for zero-carbon, low-cost, and reliable electricity by data center customers, beginning with our first Cumulus Susquehanna data center campus." 

Scott Hanna, Cumulus Chief Revenue Officer, added, "There are currently few options that fulfill all three requirements at once - at massive scale, while offering data center customers an industry-leading TCO.  As a member of the iMasons Climate Accord, Talen and Cumulus will support our customers in achieving carbon neutrality by uniting together to adopt a common standard enabled by solutions such as the Cumulus carbon-free data center platform."
