Overview
Meta agreed 20-year purchases and funding partnerships with TerraPower, Oklo, Vistra and Constellation to supply nuclear electricity for its Prometheus AI cluster and other data centers.
Meta is funding TerraPower to build two Natrium reactors totaling 690 megawatts by 2032, with rights to expand to 2.8 gigawatts and 1.2 gigawatts storage.
Oklo will develop a 1.2-gigawatt power campus in Ohio, while Vistra expands Beaver Valley capacity and Meta will buy power from Vistra plants in Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Meta's 20-year agreement with Constellation secures power from an Illinois nuclear plant, making Meta one of the largest corporate buyers of U.S. nuclear electricity.
Combined deals aim to supply roughly 6.6 gigawatts by 2035—about powering five million homes—boosting energy reliability for AI data centers; financial terms of agreements remain undisclosed.
