Other tech giants, including Amazon and Microsoft, are pursuing similar strategies as AI-driven power demands are set to surge.
Google has signed its first corporate deal to purchase power from multiple small modular reactors (SMRs) to meet the energy needs of its AI systems, marking a key step as AI companies shift toward nuclear power.
In a blog post, Google announced an agreement with Kairos Power to source nuclear energy, aiming to bring the first SMR online by 2030, with more reactors planned by 2035.
“The grid needs new electricity sources to support AI technologies that are powering major scientific advances, improving services for businesses and customers, and driving national competitiveness and economic growth,” the company said in the post.
