Meta has announced new agreements with three U.S. nuclear energy companies Oklo, TerraPower, and Vistra, to expand clean, reliable power for its data centers and support the broader electric grid. Together, these projects are expected to support up to 6.6 GW of new and existing clean energy by 2035, providing firm, reliable power for Meta’s operations, including the Prometheus supercluster in New Albany, Ohio.
In a press release, Meta revealed that its partnerships with Oklo and TerraPower will focus on next-generation nuclear technologies. Oklo plans to develop an advanced nuclear campus in Pike County, Ohio, potentially online by 2030, delivering up to 1.2 GW of clean baseload power to the PJM grid. The project is expected to create thousands of construction and operational jobs.
Jacob DeWitte, Oklo co-founder and CEO, said, “Meta’s funding commitment in support of early procurement and development activity is a major step in moving advanced nuclear forward.”
Chris Levesque,TerraPower, CEO, said, “This agreement with Meta is designed to support the rapid deployment of our Natrium technology that provides the reliable, flexible, and carbon-free power our country needs.”
Jim Burke, Vistra president and CEO said, “This agreement powers American innovation and AI technology, while allowing us to extend the operational life of these plants, boost reactor capacity, and continue investing in local communities.”
Joel Kaplan, Meta’s chief global affairs officer, said, “Our agreements with Vistra, TerraPower, Oklo, and Constellation make Meta one of the most significant corporate purchasers of nuclear energy in American history, nuclear energy will help power our AI future, strengthen America’s energy infrastructure, and provide clean, reliable electricity for everyone.”
TerraPower’s agreement will support the generation of up to 690 MW, with potential delivery by 2032, and provides Meta rights to energy from six additional units capable of producing 2.1 GW by 2035. Combined, the eight potential units could deliver 2.8 GW of baseload power plus 1.2 GW of built-in storage.
Through Vistra, Meta will extend and expand operations at the Perry and Davis-Besse plants in Ohio and the Beaver Valley plant in Pennsylvania. The agreements include energy uprates totaling 433 MW, expected in the early 2030s.
The initiatives are projected to generate thousands of construction jobs and hundreds of long-term positions. These agreements build on Meta’s decade-long collaboration with utilities to plan energy needs ahead of data center operations and reinforce the company’s commitment to supporting advanced nuclear development and U.S. energy leadership.
