Korea Electric Power to Reveal Q3 Earnings
The power struggle between electrical utilities and technology: The AI boom meets regulatory resistance, and the future of electric power no longer rests easy.
Bullish sentiment in electric power stocks is based on agreements signed between technology companies and power plants to directly connect datacenters to power plants. However, regulatory institutions are taking action.
Is AI nuclear power dangerous? The proposal to increase power supply for the amazon datacenter was rejected, causing a major drop in US nuclear power stocks.
The U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) voted last week to reject nucleosynthesis operator Talen Energy's plan to increase power supply to Amazon datacenters, causing the company and other U.S. nuclear power companies' stocks to plummet significantly on Monday. Constellation Energy's stock fell by as much as 13% on Monday, while Talen's stock price dropped by a maximum of 8.6%, and Centrus Energy dropped by around 22%. OKLO, held by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, also dropped by about 14.3% at one point. Analysts say FERC's decision is a significant blow to the theme of investing in nuclear power datacenters.
