Nuclear startup Oklo and Switch aim to develop 12 gigawatts of nuclear power by 2044 for data centers.

Nuclear startup Oklo and data center operator Switch have agreed to develop 12 gigawatts of new nuclear power by 2044, equivalent to the annual electricity used by over 9 million US homes. Oklo will build and operate small nuclear plants, with the first scheduled to be operational in Idaho by 2027. The non-binding agreement aims to supply Switch's data centers across the U.S. with clean energy, marking one of the largest corporate clean power deals ever signed.
