“Mita” is going to nuclear power to meet the needs of artificial intelligence
Meta has signed a 20 -year agreement to buy nuclear power from the “Constance Energy” company, maintaining the cooperation of the giant technology companies in this sector to meet the needs of increasing data centers.
From June 2027, Mita purchases about 1.1GB of power from the Clinton Clean Energy Center of “Constalken” in Illinois, which represents the total product of the only nuclear reactor on the site.
The two companies have confirmed that the long -term agreement will support the station’s continuous operation along with its protection.
Without the commitment of “Mita”, the station is in danger of closing at its expiration expiration, which relying from 2017, said the CNBC network.
“We are proud of our partnership with (mita) … (MITA) realizes that we have realized that the back license and expansion of current stations is less effective than finding new energy sources,” said Constals President and CEO Joe Domingz.
Conditions of this deal, which increases the product of Clinton Center by 30 MW. The station does not feed “dead” data centers; Instead, you continue to provide power to the regional network, while at the same time contribute to achieving the goal of a technical giant that produces 100 percent pure energy.
This statement is the latest episode of a series of agreements between the main technical organizations and nuclear industries. In September, the company announced that it would reopen the “Mile Island” station and sell power to “Microsoft” under a 20 -year deal.
Google recently pledged to finance the development of 3 new nuclear sites after last year’s cooperation with a developed company “Cyrus Power” for small nuclear reactors (SMRS). As a result, Amazon invested over 500 million to develop these reactors in October and bought a complex for the data center for the Sacayan Nuclear Station in March 2024. The giant technology companies – including “Amazon”, “Google” and “Mita” – signed a pledge in March -led by the World Nuclear Association, called for a nuclear energy global 3 times by Sol 2050.
However, the deal with “Consteation” is the first official entry of the “Mita” company for the nuclear energy sector. In December, the company launched a request for offers for offers to find nuclear power developers for partnership with them, declaring the desire to include between one and four GB in the United States. The offer is still underway to focus on sophisticated nuclear energy and is different from the company’s support for Clinton facility.
“It is necessary to secure clean and reliable energy to continue to increase our aspirations in the field of artificial intelligence,” said Urvi Baric, Head of the Global Energy Department in Meta. He said: “We are proud to cooperate with the continuous operation of the coming years (Clinton Station) and prove that this station is an important part of strengthening American leadership in the field of energy.”
President Donald Trump has recently signed 4 executive orders with the aim of speeding up the spread of nuclear power, with a target of doubling the US by 2050. Executive orders – among other things – have called for a comprehensive reform of nuclear control, in addition to building a local supply chain for nuclear fuel.
The White House has called for the acceleration of institutional approval on reactors, including small common reactors. In the past, nuclear projects are suffering from high costs and construction dates. The sector hopes that small nuclear reactors are expensive to expand nuclear energy. Currently, there are no small nuclear reactions in the United States.
On Tuesday, the Company announced that it was considering getting a new permission from the Nuclear Regulatory Authority for the opportunity to build a small nuclear reactor on the Clinton website.
