Oklo's Meta Deal Calls For a 1.2-Gigawatt Reactor in Ohio. Here's When It's Slated to Come Online.
The company will begin pre-construction next year and break ground in 2028.
Overview
Back in January of this year, nuclear technology firm Oklo (NYSE: OKLO) announced an agreement with Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) to develop a nuclear facility in Ohio to support data centers in the region.
Details
The "nuclear campus" will be located in south central Ohio, not far from both Cincinnati and Columbus, and will deliver 1.2 gigawatts of power to Meta facilities. Pre-construction is scheduled to begin in 2027 and general construction in late 2028 or 2029. The hope is that the first phase of the nuclear plant will come online around 2030. (Oklo does not yet have the necessary license from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for the facility -- it is pursuing that now.)
