Meta signed deals with three nuclear companies, Vistra, Oklo and TerraPower, TechCrunch and CNBC reported on January 9. Meta will buy a total of 2.1 gigawatts from two existing plants, Perry and Davis-Besse in Ohio, and said the projects should add 6.6 gigawatts of power by 2035. The agreements are tied to its Prometheus AI supercluster.
Nuclear power has become a central procurement item for AI infrastructure because it offers firm, round-the-clock supply, but new reactors take years to build, so near-term capacity comes from existing plants.
