Mike Kramer: Navigating power deals in the new data economy
Mike Kramer has a background in finance, not engineering, but a combined 20 years at Exelon and Constellation and a key role in the deals that have Meta and Microsoft buying power from Constellation’s Clinton and Crane sites have made him something of a nuclear expert.
Kramer spoke with Nuclear News staff writer Susan Gallier in late August, just after a visit to Clinton in central Illinois to celebrate a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Meta that closed in June. As Constellation’s vice president for data economy strategy, Kramer was part of the deal-making—not just the celebration.

The Broader Approach (BA) activities have been launched in 2007 under the framework of collaboration between Japan and EURATOM. The BA activities aim at complementing the ITER project and at an early realization offusion energy by carrying out R&D and developing some advanced technologies for the future demonstration power reactor (DEMO). Three research projects are to be undertaken in Japan. They are 1) Engineering Validation and Engineering Design Activities for the International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF/EVEDA), 2) International Fusion Energy Research Center (IFERC), and 3) Satellite Tokamak Program, where the JT-60 tokamak will be upgraded to an advanced superconducting tokamak.The IFERC project is to be carried out at a new research site prepared in Rokkasho, Aomori, Japan. The construction of the buildings started in March 2008 and will be completed in FY 2009 (March 2010), followed by the installation of the experimental equipments for the DEMO R&D.
