Meta Signs Multi-Gigawatt Nuclear Deals for AI Data Centers
Meta Platforms Inc. is set to become one of the world’s biggest corporate buyers of nuclear power, striking a series of deals as technology companies rush to lock up electricity for the AI boom.
The agreements could end up totaling more than 6 gigawatts — that’s enough to power a city of about 5 million homes. The deals include purchasing electricity from three existing Vistra Corp. plants and support several small reactors that Sam Altman-backed Oklo Inc. and Bill Gates-backed TerraPower LLC are planning to build over the next decade.
