USA: Meta has announced a major step into nuclear energy, signing new agreements that will support both existing nuclear power plants and the development of advanced reactor technologies across the United States. The projects are expected to unlock up to 6.6 GW of clean, reliable power by 2035, helping to meet the growing energy needs of AI and large-scale data centres.

The company has partnered with Vistra, TerraPower and Oklo, building on a previous agreement with Constellation Energy. These deals make Meta one of the largest corporate buyers of nuclear energy in US history. The goal is to strengthen the electricity grid, support energy independence and ensure stable power for Meta’s operations, including its Prometheus supercluster in Ohio.

Through Vistra, Meta will provide long-term support for operating nuclear plants in Ohio and Pennsylvania. This includes extending the lifespan of facilities in Perry, Davis-Besse and Beaver Valley, as well as increasing their output. These upgrades are expected to add more than 400 MW of additional capacity in the early 2030s.

Meta is also investing in future technologies. Its agreement with TerraPower supports the development of new Natrium reactors, while the partnership with Oklo focuses on building advanced nuclear facilities in Ohio. These projects aim to deliver clean baseload power and support thousands of construction and long-term jobs.

Meta says nuclear energy offers dependable, carbon-free electricity that is essential for innovation at scale. The company adds that it pays the full cost of the energy it uses, while helping strengthen the wider grid for communities and businesses alike.
