Amazon Signs Nuclear Power Deals For Small Modular Reactors
- Amazon has signed agreements to develop small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs), advanced reactors with a smaller physical footprint that can be built closer to the grid, having purchased a nuclear-powered data centre in March. SMRs will power Amazon’s data centres, join nuclear power deals with Google and Microsoft. Google will buy up to 500MW of power from Kairos Power, linked to six to seven reactors, set to go online from 2030-35. Meanwhile, Microsoft has signed a deal to restart the Three Mile Island nuclear plant in Pennsylvania. Amazon aims to be carbon neutral and use only 100% renewable energy by 2040.
- Amazon has made a major nuclear power play, announcing three contracts to develop small modular reactors (SMRs) which it hopes will meet the energy needs of its data centres. The retail and tech giant pointed out that nuclear energy can come online at scale and has established a reliable source of safe and carbon-free energy worldwide.
- Amazon has signed three contracts to develop small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) that can be brought online at scale and have a record of proven carbon-free safe energy.
- Amazon has entered three agreements aimed at developing small modular nuclear reactors ('SMRs'), which could provide safe, carbon-free energy for communities around the world. Amazon stated that as the energy needs of its business and customers continue to grow, investment is being made in renewables as well as carbon-free energy sources such as nuclear power.
- Amazon has signed three agreements focused on developing small modular reactors (SMRs) billed as the nuclear power technology of the future and could help the tech giant power its energy-hungry data centres. SMRs are an advanced type of nuclear reactor with a smaller footprint, allowing them to be built closer to the grid.
- Amazon has signed three deals aimed at developing small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs), described as an advanced form of the technology with a smaller physical footprint which can be built closer to the grid. The company said nuclear power could be brought online at scale and has already proven to provide a reliable source of safe carbon-free energy for communities worldwide.
- Amazon announced it has signed three agreements on developing small modular reactors (SMRs), which it says are an advanced kind of nuclear reactor with a smaller physical footprint, allowing them to be built closer to the grid. There are no SMRs in the US, at the moment.
- Amazon has purchased a nuclear-powered data centre and signed agreements to develop small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) which have a proven track record of supplying safe and carbon-free energy.
- Amazon has signed three agreements to support the development of nuclear energy projects, including the construction of several new small modular reactors (SMRs). SMRs have a smaller footprint and faster build times than traditional reactors, and can thus be brought online sooner.
- Amazon, Google and Microsoft have each made recent moves in nuclear technology as they seek to power data centres in a carbon-neutral way. Amazon has signed intial contracts for SMRs, Google has made a deal with Kairos Power for future SMRs, while Microsoft is to restart a portion of the Three Mile Island nuclear plant in Pennsylvania.
