As electricity demand reaches levels not seen in decades, Americans are asking:
How do we power innovation while keeping the grid reliable?
At a recent gathering of employees, labor and community organizations, elected officials, business leaders, and representatives from Meta and Vistra, there was a shared sense of optimism about one answer.
Partnership.
Together, Vistra and Meta are advancing 20-year power purchase agreements tied to more than 2,600 MW of existing zero-carbon nuclear energy from Vistra’s Davis-Besse, Perry, and Beaver Valley Nuclear Power Plants in PJM.
The agreement demonstrates what can happen when technology leaders and energy providers work together to address one of the country’s most important challenges: meeting growing electricity demand while maintaining reliability and supporting economic growth.
The impact extends far beyond the megawatts.
This partnership helps preserve a critical source of around-the-clock, zero-carbon energy while supporting the workers, businesses, and communities that depend on these facilities every day.
It also creates opportunities for future investment across Ohio and Pennsylvania, including approximately 3,000 project-related jobs associated with planned plant investments and upgrades.
What the Agreement Includes:
- 2,176 MW of existing nuclear generation from Vistra’s Perry, Davis-Besse, and Beaver Valley nuclear plants.
- 433 MW of additional power through planned uprates, representing a 15% increase in generating capacity across the three plants.
- The largest nuclear uprates ever supported by a corporate customer in the United States.
- Investments that add reliable capacity using existing infrastructure, allowing new generation to come online faster and more cost-effectively than building new plants.
- Long-term demand certainty that supports continued operation of the plants into the 2050s and 2060s.
- Reliable electricity that will continue flowing to the PJM grid exactly as it does today, powering millions of homes and businesses while meeting rising demand.
Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate this milestone, including employees, labor partners, community leaders, elected officials, business organizations, and the team at Meta whose collaboration helped make this next chapter possible.
