HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Amazon said Monday that it will spend $20 billion on two data center complexes in Pennsylvania, including one it is building alongside a nuclear power plant


One data center is being built in  Berwick PA, next to northeastern Pennsylvania’s Susquehanna nuclear power plant, where it intends to get its power.

Amazon is constructing a vast AI data center in Indiana to support Anthropic, spanning 1,200 acres and eventually housing 30 facilities. The site will draw 2.2 gigawatts of power and use millions of gallons of water annually. Amazon’s strategy favors simpler, in-house chips over NVIDIA’s. The project faces local opposition over its environmental impact.
