The Atomic Engine: Meta Secures 6.6 GW of Nuclear Power to Fuel its AI Future

In January 2026, The Atomic Engine: Meta Secures 6.6 GW of Nuclear Power to Fuel its AI Future reports that Meta has formalised accords with Vistra, TerraPower and Oklo to secure up to 6.6 GW of nuclear-generated electricity over the next decade to power its expanding AI infrastructure and the Prometheus supercomputing cluster in Ohio.

The TerraPower deal foresees two sodium-cooled Natrium reactors delivering 690 MW at first, with expansion rights to reach 2.1 GW via six more reactors by 2035, while the Oklo agreement targets 1.2 GW from a multi-reactor deployment in Ohio, with the first power expected by 2030. Meta also signed a 20-year power purchase agreement with Vistra to procure over 2.1 GW from Vistra’s Ohio facilities, alongside plans to add a further 433 MW by the early 2030s.

The piece notes that the initiative follows Microsoft’s Three Mile Island revival push and references OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s 4% stake in Oklo. It concludes that a stable, carbon-neutral baseload is framed as essential for enduring AI leadership.
