Alphabet's Google has made strides in sustainable energy by securing the world’s first corporate agreement to procure power from multiple small modular reactors, aiming for a 2030 operational date.
Michael Terrell, Google’s senior director for energy and climate, emphasized that nuclear energy is essential for meeting increasing electricity demands, particularly from AI, in a cleaner and consistent manner.
This agreement follows a trend where major tech companies are increasingly turning to nuclear power solutions to handle their growing energy requirements from AI innovations.
Predictions indicate U.S. data center power usage could escalate to 47 gigawatts by 2030, significantly intensifying reliance on diverse energy generation methods including nuclear.
