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 Department of Energy (DOE) recently announced awardees to the Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program (ARDP). With teams assembled and activities commencing, this panel will showcase some of the design features of different reactors being planned for near-term demonstration. This includes concepts from both the reactor demonstration as well as risk reduction initiatives, notably Natrium, Xe-100, Hermes, and the Molten Chloride Reactor Experiment (MCRE). The panel will primarily focus on the technical design specifications of the reactor systems as they pertain to neutronics, material, and thermal hydraulics.
