Wedoany.com Report-Nov 2,  The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission rejected an agreement that would have allowed an Amazon Inc.com data center to directly tap into power from an Pennsylvania nuclear plant.

FERC voted 2-1 against the proposal that would have increased the amount of power supplied to a data center located next to the nuclear facility owned by Talen Energy Corp.

In March, Amazon Web Services paid Talen $650 million for a data center campus adjacent to the Susquehanna nuclear plant in Pennsylvania, and signed a long-term agreement to buy power from the plant from Talen. Utilities had challenged the arrangement with FERC.
