On October 14, 2024, Alphabet's Google announced it signed the world's first corporate agreement to purchase power from multiple small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs). This strategic move aims to meet the escalating electricity demand from its artificial intelligence operations.
The deal was made with Kairos Power, a nuclear power startup. Kairos Power plans to deliver these SMRs to Google by 2035, laying a path for a long-term commitment to nuclear energy.
This agreement is significant as it represents the first corporate deal for multiple reactor deployments, targeting 500 megawatts by 2035. It underscores Google's proactive approach to securing clean and cost-efficient energy sources for its energy-intensive AI data centers.
