COMPILED NOTES
Meta up to 6.6GW by 2035: Vistra 2.2GW+433MW, Oklo 1.2GW (2030), TerraPower 2.6GW+1.2GW storage (2032); no NRC permits yet
Meta's Up-to-6.6 GW Nuclear Deal
Core News
Meta contracted up to 6.6 GW of clean nuclear energy by 2035 to power its "Prometheus" AI supercluster in New Albany, Ohio — spanning existing plants (Vistra) and advanced reactors (Oklo, TerraPower).
Key Facts
- Vistra: 2.2 GW existing Ohio nuclear + 433 MW incremental upgrades (Ohio/PA), 8-year window.
- Oklo: Ohio campus, first reactors as early as 2030, target 1.2 GW.
- TerraPower: up to eight Natrium reactors + storage; two online as soon as 2032; full 2.6 GW nuclear + 1.2 GW storage.
- Neither Oklo nor TerraPower has NRC construction permits yet; TerraPower completed safety evaluation Dec 2025.
- Scale ≈ northern Virginia's "Data Center Alley."
