the ratepayer just got a co-tenant. oracle plans to draw 125 to 250 megawatts from the point beach nuclear plant for its wisconsin ai campus, per oct 8 reporting, while locals question the bill.

Context
Oracle announced on Oct 2 that it will subscribe to a portion of the Point Beach Nuclear Plant's output, with 125 to 250 megawatts per NucNet and the Daily Reporter, for its Wisconsin data center campus. Oracle's release says the move is expected to save Wisconsin utility customers about 300 million dollars in rising energy costs.
The Business Journal says it goes beyond a state requirement that data centers pay full costs for new generation.
The 125 to 250 megawatt plan matches the sources, which date it Oct 2, not Oct 8. Oracle states a customer saving of about 300 million dollars; local doubts about the bill were not seen in the excerpts read, so unsupported here, not refuted. 'Answers to a GPU' is the author's framing.
'the reactor now answers to a gpu' is the author's opinion.
