Microsoft’s re -confirmation of Three Mile Island Nuclear Plant is ahead of schedule

• The three -mile island nuclear power plant seems to be on the planning and to open in 2027 (not 2028)
• Microsoft has a 20-year electricity purchase agreement on the site
• Other AI companies also invest in nuclear

The Three Mile Island nuclear power plant could restart as soon as 2027 – a year prior to the original reopening date of 2028 – but with an important difference in comparison with its former life.

Only unit 1 will be restarted because it was not involved in the Meltdown of 1979, which had influenced unity 2. Although unit 1 remained open after the incident, it was closed in 2019 for economic reasons (no worries about safety).
