Meta strengthens its artificial intelligence infrastructure with nuclear energy
Meta has finalized a set of agreements to secure a total of 6.6 gigawatts (GW) of nuclear power by 2035, ensuring sufficient electricity for its growing artificial intelligence operations. Through partnerships with Oklo, TerraPower, and Vistra, the company aims to guarantee a stable and carbon-free energy supply for its next-generation AI systems. Central to this initiative is Prometheus, Meta’s supercomputer cluster located in Ohio, designed to run continuously and efficiently on uninterrupted energy. The company highlights that nuclear power will not only advance its AI objectives but also reinforce the nation’s energy infrastructure, delivering clean and dependable electricity to broader markets.
Three-pillar nuclear strategy
Meta’s nuclear initiative is structured around a three-part plan spanning different sectors of the energy field. In partnership with TerraPower, the firm founded by Bill Gates, Meta will support the creation of two Natrium technology units, expected to begin operations by 2032 and produce 690 MW of consistent energy. Additionally, Meta will obtain purchase rights for six more units capable of generating about 2.8 GW of base load capacity, along with an integrated 1.2 GW storage component included in the agreement. A second collaboration with Oklo focuses on building an advanced nuclear technology campus, scheduled to become operational by 2030. This complex will utilize Aurora Powerhouse reactors—fast reactor systems designed to operate on both new and reprocessed fuel—providing a total of 1.2 GW of clean base-load power to the PJM market. To address near- and mid-term electricity demand, Meta entered into 20-year contracts with Vistra to procure over 2.1 GW from its nuclear facilities. The agreement also funds physical upgrades that will boost reactor capacity, enabling an increase of approximately 433 MW by the early 2030s.
