Oklo Meta Deal: Meta Platforms has secured nuclear energy agreements to power its growing artificial intelligence infrastructure.
The company confirmed deals with TerraPower, Oklo, and Vistra.
The agreements will support electricity needs at Meta’s Prometheus AI data center in New Albany, Ohio.
Meta is expanding its search for reliable power as AI workloads drive higher energy consumption. Nuclear power provides steady, low-carbon electricity suited for large-scale data centers.
The Prometheus project was announced in July. It is designed as a 1-gigawatt AI computing campus.
The site will include multiple data center buildings operating as a single cluster.
Meta expects the facility to become operational later this year.
Once online, it will be one of the largest AI-focused data center developments in the country.
Company officials have emphasized that a dependable power supply is essential for long-term AI growth.
The nuclear deals highlight Meta’s strategy to secure energy sources capable of meeting continuous computing demand.
Meta has declined to reveal the financial details of its power supply agreements with TerraPower, Oklo, and Vistra.
In a statement issued Friday, the Mark Zuckerberg-led company said the partnerships are designed to back as much as 6.6 gigawatts of clean energy capacity by 2035.
The figure includes a mix of newly built generation and existing power resources.
Meta said the agreements form part of its broader effort to secure long-term, low-emissions energy for future operations.
The company did not specify how the capacity would be phased in over time.
Meta said the planned nuclear projects will improve power reliability across the U.S. grid and strengthen the domestic nuclear industry.
The company said the initiatives are expected to provide consistent, around-the-clock electricity.
Meta added that the projects will help reinforce the American nuclear supply chain.
The company said the effort will also support jobs tied to the construction and operation of power plants nationwide.
As part of a separate deal with TerraPower, Meta will supply funding to advance new reactor development. The agreement includes two Natrium nuclear units.
Together, the units are designed to deliver up to 690 megawatts of firm power. Energy production could begin as early as 2032.
Meta said the deal also gives it access to power from additional future reactors. That option covers as many as six more Natrium units.
Those units could generate up to 2.1 gigawatts of electricity.
Power delivery from the expanded capacity is targeted for 2035.
Meta said it has agreed to purchase more than 2.1 gigawatts of electricity from two nuclear power plants operated by Vistra in Ohio.
The arrangement also includes additional power from planned expansions at both Ohio facilities.
It further covers output from a separate Vistra nuclear plant in Pennsylvania.
The company said the electricity will be used to support its expanding network of data centers in the region.
Rising demand from artificial intelligence systems has increased the need for stable, long-term power supplies.
Meta has also reached a separate agreement with Oklo to advance a new nuclear project in Ohio. The plan calls for a power campus in Pike County.
The site is expected to produce up to 1.2 gigawatts of electricity. The capacity would be dedicated to supporting Meta’s nearby data center operations.
Oklo lists OpenAI Chief Executive Sam Altman among its major investors. The nuclear agreements build on an earlier power deal announced in June.
Meta previously said it had secured a 20-year electricity supply agreement with Constellation Energy.
