Oklo and data center operator Switch aim to deploy 12 gigawatts of nuclear power by 2044. Oklo will develop, build, and operate small nuclear plants, selling electricity to Switch via power purchase agreements. While the current agreement is nonbinding, both companies are optimistic about future binding deals.
Nuclear startup Oklo and data center operator Switch are aiming to deploy 12 gigawatts of new nuclear power by 2044.
The agreement between Oklo and Switch is a nonbinding framework that should result in binding power deals in the future, the companies said.aims to deploy 12 gigawatts of power over the next two decades through a framework agreement with data center operator Switch is a privately held company headquartered in Las Vegas that designs, builds and operates data center campuses in the U.S. CEO Rob Roy said Switch is committed to deploying advanced nuclear power"at a transformative scale for our data centers" through the relationship with Oklo.
The reactors that would service Switch would primarily be 50 megawatts, DeWitte said. Oklo would have to build 240 reactors of that size by 2044 to meet the 12 gigawatt deployment goal.
