Google backs Elementl Power to build advanced nuclear sites across America
Google is continuing its support of nuclear energy. Following an agreement with Kairos Power last year, the search giant just signed a new deal with Elementl Power to fund the early development of three advanced nuclear energy sites in the United States.
Each location is expected to support at least 600MW of power -- enough to keep the lights on for hundreds of thousands of homes. This partnership isn’t just about cleaner energy, however. You see, it’s also about securing reliable, always-on power for Google’s growing network of data centers, especially as artificial intelligence keeps ramping up demand.
