Meta has confirmed its plans to use nuclear power to fuel US data centers. The company announced that it's accepting proposals from nuclear energy developers to work on the project, with the goal of adding between one and four gigawatts of nuclear energy capacity 'starting in the early 2030s.' This move not only showcases Meta's commitment to sustainable energy but also aligns with broader industry trends where tech giants are exploring nuclear to support their operational needs.
As new innovations bring impactful technological advancements across sectors and support economic growth, we believe that nuclear energy can help provide firm, baseload power to support the growth needs of the electric grids that power both our data centers (the physical infrastructure on which Meta's platforms operate) as well as the communities around them. This perspective highlights how vital baseload power is in addressing both Meta's operational demands and community energy needs.
