Oklo Inc. announced on July 15, 2025, that it has selected Kiewit Nuclear Solutions Co. as the lead constructor for its first commercial Aurora powerhouse in Idaho, located at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL). This selection follows a competitive process that evaluated both technical capabilities and construction expertise.
Under a newly executed Master Services Agreement, Kiewit, a subsidiary of one of North America’s largest construction and engineering organizations, will support the design, procurement, and construction of the Aurora-INL. Pre-construction activities are expected to begin in 2025, with commercial operations targeted for late 2027 to early 2028.
Oklo emphasized that a significant portion of the Aurora powerhouse’s construction scope is non-nuclear, allowing it to leverage Kiewit’s extensive experience in large-scale industrial and infrastructure projects. This approach is designed to accelerate delivery timelines, reduce costs, and uphold safety and quality standards, supporting Oklo’s commitment to efficient deployment of advanced nuclear technology. Oklo's broader deployment pipeline includes agreements to supply over 14 GW of clean energy.
