Amazon partners with Dominion Energy to explore nuclear power for AI needs

fool.com — October 21, 2024, 04:01 PM UTC

Summary: Amazon has partnered with Dominion Energy to explore small modular nuclear reactors in Virginia, joining other tech giants like Microsoft and Alphabet in seeking nuclear energy solutions. This shift aims to meet the growing power demands of AI and data centers.

Unlike Microsoft's plan to revive the closed Three Mile Island plant, Amazon and Alphabet are focusing on developing new, smaller reactors. These modular reactors are designed to be safer and quicker to deploy, potentially addressing energy needs more efficiently.

The demand for energy from AI technologies is rising, prompting Big Tech to invest in nuclear power. However, the timelines for these projects may be overly ambitious, as nuclear projects often face delays and budget overruns.
