The world’s first corporate agreement to purchase nuclear energy from small modular reactors has been signed by Google. The small modular reactors (SMR) will be developed by California-based Kairos Power. The company will develop, construct, and operate a series of advanced reactor plants and sell energy, ancillary services, and environmental attributes to the technology giant. The plants will be sited in “relevant service territories to supply clean electricity to Google data centers, with the first deployment by 2030 to support Google’s 24/7 carbon-free energy and net zero goals.” The deal means up to 500 MW of new 24/7 carbon-free power will be provided to U.S.
