Overview

  • Google has signed an agreement with Elementl Power to fund the early-stage development of three advanced nuclear power sites in the U.S.
  • Each site is expected to generate at least 600 MW of power, with Google holding purchase options for the electricity produced.
  • Elementl Power remains technology-agnostic, planning to select the most mature reactor designs before moving to construction.
  • The partnership aligns with Google's goal to meet growing AI-driven energy demands while advancing its net-zero commitments.
  • The projects are part of a broader effort by tech companies to secure reliable, zero-carbon energy, with a target of adding over 10 GW of nuclear capacity by 2035.
