Washington – Google is associated with Elementl Power in three projects for advanced nuclear energy, since the energy required for the increase in artificial intelligence projects in flowering increases considerably.
According to the agreement announced on Wednesday, Google will provide capital for projects, which according to companies will produce 600 megawatts of energy capacity. There was no number in dollars for Google’s investment.
“Our collaboration with Elementl Power improves our ability to move at the speed required to meet this moment of US and innovation,” said Amanda Peterson Corio, head of energy at the Google Data Center.
Google and Elementl said they will collaborate with energy companies and regulated electrical companies to identify and advance new projects.
“We hope to work with Google to execute these projects and bring safe electricity, without carbon and Baseload to the network,” said President and Elementl Power, Chris Colbert.
US states have been positioning themselves to Know the technology industry The power needs as political leaders consider expanding subsidies and gartering regulatory obstacles.
Last year, 25 states approved legislation to support advanced nuclear energy, and legislators this year have introduced more than 200 bills that support nuclear energy, according to the Commercial Association Nuclear Institute.
Advanced reactor designs of competing companies are filling the regulatory pipe of the federal government as the industry promotes them as a reliable and friendly form for the climate of gathering Electricity demands of technological giants Desperate to feed their rapid artificial intelligence platforms.
In October, Amazon announced that it was invest in small nuclear reactorsOnly two days after a similar Google ad.
A month before that, Constellation Energy, the closed owner Tres Mile Nuclear Energy Plant He said it planned to restart the reactor Therefore, Microsoft technological giant could ensure energy to supply its data centers.
The island of Tres Miles, located on the Susquehanna River, on the outskirts of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, was the site of the worst commercial nuclear energy accident in the nation, in 1979.
Amazon, Google and Microsoft have also been investing in solar and winding technologies, which make electricity without producing greenhouse gas emissions.
Elementl Power was founded in 2022.
