Google has entered into a deal with nuclear energy startup Kairos Power to support the construction of seven small modular nuclear reactors in the United States. This marks the first corporate agreement to purchase power from small modular reactors. Under the agreement, Google committed to purchasing energy generated by these reactors, including Kairos's 50-megawatt Hermes project in Tennessee, which Kairos plans to begin bringing online by 2030. The deal aims to add 500 megawatts of carbon-free energy to the grid, supplying power to Google's data centers and meeting the increasing energy demands driven by the company's artificial intelligence operations. This move highlights Google's efforts to advance clean energy technologies.
