Oklo and Switch Inc. Ink Landmark Agreement for Nuclear Power

In a groundbreaking move, Oklo, the nuclear energy startup spearheaded by OpenAI's Sam Altman, has entered into a 20-year agreement with Switch Inc. to construct reactors capable of delivering up to 12 gigawatts of power by 2044.

This non-binding agreement underscores the increasing dependence of Big Tech on nuclear energy to meet the escalating electricity demands fueled by artificial intelligence systems. Oklo aims to deploy its inaugural 15-megawatt reactor by 2027, marking a significant step forward in the adoption of nuclear power.

Oklo CEO Jacob DeWitte expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating: "We are thrilled to partner with Switch on this historic agreement. Rob Roy and the Switch team align perfectly with our vision for nuclear energy's pivotal role in powering artificial intelligence and ensuring global energy abundance. We anticipate substantial benefits from Switch's proven ability to transform visions into reality."
