Amazon partners with Energy Northwest to develop nuclear energy projects
Summary: Amazon has announced new agreements to support nuclear energy projects, including the construction of small modular reactors (SMRs). This move aims to provide carbon-free energy for its operations and help meet growing electricity demands.
The company is partnering with Energy Northwest to develop four advanced SMRs in the Pacific Northwest, expected to address energy needs by the early 2030s. Amazon is also collaborating with Dominion Energy to explore additional SMR projects in Virginia.
This initiative follows a similar announcement from Google, which signed a deal to purchase nuclear energy from multiple SMRs. Both companies are seeking reliable, clean energy sources to power their expanding data centers and operations.
