"The company's agreement with TerraPower will fund the development of two new reactors capable of delivering up to 690 megawatts of power as early as 2032. The deal also gives Meta rights to energy from six other reactors that could deliver an additional 2.1 gigawatts by 2035. All this power would come from TerraPower's "Natrium" reactors, which use sodium instead of water as a coolant."
"A partnership with Oklo will bring 1.2 gigawatts of nuclear power online as early as 2030. Meta says the agreement opens the door to the construction of multiple Oklo reactors, which it claims will create thousands of construction and long-term operations jobs in Ohio. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is one of Oklo's largest investors, and owns just over 4 percent of the company."
"Meta's agreement with Vistra focuses on keeping existing nuclear plants running longer and boosting their output. Through new 20-year deals, Meta will buy more than 2.1 gigawatts of electricity from some of Vistra's existing plants in Ohio, while also backing added capacity at those sites, plus another in Pennsylvania. Vistra expects the added capacity, totaling 433 megawatts, to come online in the early 2030s."
Meta has three agreements with Vistra, TerraPower and Oklo to secure 6.6 gigawatts of nuclear generation by 2035 for AI infrastructure and the Prometheus supercluster. The TerraPower deal funds two reactors delivering up to 690 megawatts as early as 2032 and grants rights to energy from six additional reactors totaling about 2.1 gigawatts, using sodium-cooled Natrium technology. The Oklo partnership can bring 1.2 gigawatts online as early as 2030 and enable multiple reactors and thousands of jobs in Ohio. Vistra deals extend plant operations, supply over 2.1 gigawatts and back 433 megawatts of added capacity in the early 2030s.
