"Meta said its agreement with TerraPower will provide funding that supports the development of two new Natrium units capable of generating up to 690 megawatts of firm power with delivery as early as 2032. The deal also provides Meta with rights for energy from up to six other Natrium units capable of producing 2.1 gigawatts and targeted for delivery by 2035."
"Financial terms of the deals with TerraPower, Oklo and Vistra were not disclosed. The Mark Zuckerberg-led Meta said in a statement on Friday that the three deals will support up to 6.6 gigawatts of new and existing clean energy by 2035. "These projects add reliable and firm power to the grid, reinforce America's nuclear supply chain, and support new and existing jobs to build and operate American power plants," the company said."
"Meta will also buy more than 2.1 gigawatts of energy from two operating Vistra nuclear power plants in Ohio, in addition to the energy from expansions at the two Ohio plants and a third Vistra plant in Pennsylvania. The deal with Oklo, which counts OpenAI's Sam Altman as one of its largest investors, will help to develop a 1.2 gigawatt power campus in Pike County, Ohio to support Meta's data centers in the region."
Meta reached agreements with TerraPower, Oklo and Vistra to provide nuclear power for the Prometheus AI data center in New Albany, Ohio.

The TerraPower deal funds two Natrium units capable of up to 690 megawatts with delivery as early as 2032, plus rights to energy from up to six additional Natrium units totaling 2.1 gigawatts by 2035. Meta will buy over 2.1 gigawatts from Vistra operating and expanded plants in Ohio and Pennsylvania. The Oklo deal will help develop a 1.2-gigawatt power campus in Pike County, Ohio.
