Constellation Energy Corp (NASDAQ: CEG) fell 3% on Wednesday after analysts estimated it won't receive a high premium for its electricity from its deal with Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ: META). Meta has agreed to buy about 1.1 gigawatt of energy from CEG's nuclear power plant in Illinois.

More nuclear power deals could be on the horizon, according to analysts.

Before the market's open on June 3, Constellation Energy NASDAQ: CEG, a nuclear energy giant, announced a new deal with AI hyperscaler Meta Platforms NASDAQ: META. This comes just days after a report from the Wall Street Journal stated that Meta aims to allow marketers to fully automate ad creation by the end of 2026.

The deal is Meta's first in nuclear power, echoing moves from industry leaders like Microsoft, Google and Amazon.

The four executive orders recently signed by President Donald Trump help to address the importance and growth of the U.S. nuclear-energy sector in domestic power generation, but it'll be quite a challenge for the nation to provide the uranium it requires to quadruple nuclear-energy capacity in 25 years.

I assume you've heard the news by now?

Meta announced Tuesday morning that it was paying billions of dollars to keep an Illinois nuclear power plant running through 2047. The social media company will buy all the “clean energy attributes” of Constellation Energy's Clinton Clean Energy Center, a 1.1 gigawatt nuclear power plant in central Illinois, starting in June 2027.
