Kairos Power, Google ink plant development pact to deploy nuclear power project

Kairos Power and Google have signed a master plant development agreement, creating a path to deploy a U.S. fleet of advanced nuclear power projects totaling 500 MW by 2035. Under the agreement, Kairos Power will develop, construct, and operate a series of advanced reactor plants and sell energy, ancillary services, and environmental attributes to Google under power purchase agreements, or PPAs. Plants will be sited in relevant service territories to supply clean electricity to Google data centers, with the first deployment by 2030 to support Google’s 24/7 carbon-free energy and net zero goals. The multi-plant agreement will support technology development by extending Kairos Power’s iterative demonstration strategy through its first commercial deployments. Building on progress from the early iterations, each new plant will enable continued learning and optimization to support accelerated commercialization.
