Meta signs 6.6 GW nuclear power agreement with Oklo, Vistra, and TerraPower for long-term AI data center power supply

Meta's industry-leading data centers form the backbone of AI breakthroughs and transformative innovation at a global scale. Powering these operations at such scale requires significant electricity, and nuclear energy provides the clean, reliable, and firm power needed to support America's economy and communities while advancing AI development.

Today, Meta announces agreements with three partners—TerraPower, Oklo, and Vistra—following a comprehensive nuclear RFP process. These commitments will add clean, reliable energy to electric grids, preserve continued investment in operating nuclear power plants, support the nuclear fuel supply chain and American jobs, and accelerate AI innovation.

The partnerships support the next generation of American advanced nuclear reactor developers through commitments to Oklo and TerraPower. Through a partnership with Vistra, Meta provides financial support for three existing nuclear power plants in Ohio and Pennsylvania—Perry and Davis-Besse in Ohio and Beaver Valley in Pennsylvania—extending their operational lifespan and increasing energy production. These projects will deliver power to grids supporting Meta's operations, including the Prometheus supercluster in New Albany, Ohio.

Collectively, these projects are expected to provide thousands of construction jobs and hundreds of long-term operational jobs, supporting up to 6.6 GW of new and existing clean energy by 2035. The projects add reliable and firm power to the grid, reinforce America's nuclear supply chain, and support jobs in building and operating American power plants.

This work builds on Meta's ongoing collaboration with electric utility companies and power providers to plan for and meet energy needs years in advance of data center operations. Meta pays the full costs for energy used by its data centers, ensuring consumers do not bear these expenses, while supporting the broader grid through comprehensive energy agreements.

"Our agreements with Vistra, TerraPower, Oklo, and Constellation make Meta one of the most significant corporate purchasers of nuclear energy in American history," said Joel Kaplan, Meta's Chief Global Affairs Officer. "State-of-the-art data centers and AI infrastructure are essential to securing America's position as a global leader in AI. Nuclear energy will help power our AI future, strengthen our country's energy infrastructure, and provide clean, reliable electricity for everyone. These projects will create thousands of skilled jobs in Ohio and Pennsylvania, add new energy to the grid, extend the life of three existing nuclear plants, and accelerate new reactor technologies."

**Advancing Advanced Nuclear Technology**

As demand for reliable, scalable, and clean energy rises, advanced nuclear technology offers a key solution. The latest generation of advanced reactors are designed with enhanced safety features, delivering reliable baseload power that can be efficiently integrated into existing grids—ideal for supporting America's evolving power needs. Meta's agreements with Oklo and TerraPower advance this next generation of energy technology.

These agreements provide both developers with greater business certainty, enabling capital raises and accelerated project development, ultimately expanding energy capacity on the grid. Over time, this supports grid reliability for all customers while maintaining stable wholesale electricity prices.

**TerraPower: Supporting Advanced Reactor Development**

Meta's agreement with TerraPower will provide funding for two new Natrium units capable of generating up to 690 MW of firm power, with delivery expected as early as 2032. The agreement also grants Meta rights to energy from up to six additional Natrium units capable of producing 2.1 GW, targeted for delivery by 2035. At eight potential units total, the agreement supports 2.8 GW of baseload energy generation and an additional 1.2 GW of built-in storage—Meta's largest support of advanced nuclear technologies to date.

"To successfully address growing energy demand, we must deploy gigawatts of advanced nuclear energy in the 2030s," said Chris Levesque, TerraPower president and CEO. "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. With our first Natrium plant under development, we have completed our design, established our supply chain, and cleared key regulatory milestones. These successes position our TerraPower team to deliver on this historic multi-unit delivery agreement."

**Oklo: Expanding Nuclear Capacity in Ohio**

Meta's partnership with Oklo advances development of entirely new nuclear energy in Pike County, Ohio. This advanced nuclear technology campus—potentially coming online as early as 2030—will add up to 1.2 GW of clean baseload power directly into the PJM market and support Meta's regional operations.

The agreement provides a foundation for constructing multiple Oklo Aurora Powerhouse reactors, expected to create thousands of construction and long-term operational jobs and generate new local and state tax revenue. Oklo Aurora powerhouses are based on proven fast-reactor designs with inherently safe systems capable of using both fresh and repurposed fuel.

"Meta's funding commitment in support of early procurement and development activity is a major step in moving advanced nuclear forward," said Jacob DeWitte, Oklo's co-founder and CEO. "Two years ago, Oklo shared its vision to build a new generation of advanced nuclear powerhouses in Ohio. Today, that vision is becoming a reality through Meta's multi-year effort to deliver clean energy and create long-term, high-quality jobs in Ohio."

**Vistra: Sustaining Existing Nuclear Operations**

Many American nuclear power plants require ongoing long-term investment to maintain best-in-class safety and reliability. Meta's first nuclear agreement helped extend the operational life of a nuclear plant in Clinton, Illinois for an additional 20 years.

Through new 20-year agreements, Meta will purchase more than 2.1 GW of energy from two Vistra nuclear power plants in Ohio (Perry and Davis-Besse), in addition to energy from capacity expansions (uprates) at these two Ohio facilities and a third Vistra plant in Pennsylvania (Beaver Valley). All three plants deliver power into the PJM grid region, and these uprates will represent the largest nuclear capacity expansions supported by a corporate customer in the U.S.

The uprate capacity at each facility, totaling 433 MW, is expected to come online in the early 2030s, supporting growing power needs in the PJM grid region. This expanded supply of reliable power will benefit consumers through increased grid stability and capacity.

"This is an exciting collaboration for us at Vistra," said Jim Burke, Vistra president and CEO. "We are focused on meeting customer needs, and providing reliable, carbon-free nuclear power is something we're proud to offer Meta. This agreement is beneficial in many ways—it powers American innovation and AI technology, while allowing us to extend the operational life of these plants, boost reactor capacity to support the grid, protect existing jobs while creating new ones, and continue investing in our communities. Partnerships like ours are key in moving America forward in both AI and energy leadership."

**Supporting America's Energy Future**

Today's announcements result from a comprehensive nuclear RFP process designed to identify specific partners and opportunities to scale and accelerate nuclear energy production. For over a decade, Meta has worked with innovative partners to support clean energy projects that strengthen the grid, adding nearly 28 GW of new energy across 27 states. The company is proud to include Oklo, TerraPower, and Vistra in these efforts and support their work advancing America's energy leadership.
