"Our agreements will encourage the construction of new nuclear technologies that will generate energy for decades to come," said Matt Garman, CEO of AWS. The projects in Washington and Virginia are part of this long-term vision.
Amazon Web Services aims to explore the feasibility of utilizing small modular reactors (SMRs) to power its operations, offering a reliable, sustainable energy source for AI.
Unlike conventional reactors, these smaller, modular units can be manufactured in factories and assembled on-site, offering flexibility in deployment and reduced construction time and costs.
AWS has partnered with Energy Northwest to build up to eight 80 MW modules in Washington, which could serve over 770,000 homes, including AWS operations.
