With the deal, Google joins Microsoft and Amazon in turning to nuclear power to satiate its thirst for electricity.

Google has signed a deal to use small nuclear reactors to generate the vast amounts of energy needed to power its artificial intelligence (AI) data centres. The company says the agreement with Kairos Power will see it start using the first reactor this decade and bring more online by 2035.

Alphabet's Google said on Monday it signed the world's first corporate agreement to buy power from multiple small modular reactors as the technology company looks to meet electricity demand from artificial intelligence.

Startup Kairos Power plans to build small reactors to help supply electricity to the tech company’s data centers.

Google is turning to nuclear energy to help power its AI drive. On Monday, the company said it will partner with the startup Kairos Power to build seven small nuclear reactors in the US. The deal targets adding 500 megawatts of nuclear power from the small modular reactors (SMRs) by the decade’s end.

Amazon, Microsoft and Oracle all have nuclear arrangements of their own as tech companies seek clean-energy solutions for AI’s massive power needs.

Google has penned a major, first-of-its-kind deal with Kairos Power to purchase nuclear energy produced by several small modular reactors as the tech company looks to secure power for artificial intelligence developments.

Google said Monday that it will buy power from nuclear energy company Kairos Power. Tech companies are increasingly turning to nuclear energy to meet data centers' growing power demands. Google said the first small modular reactor will come online by 2030.

Google announced a deal on Monday to purchase energy from small nuclear reactors that the startup Kairos Power plans to start bringing online in the U.S. by 2030. Why it matters: It's Google's first nuclear foray as the tech giant — and its peers — hunt for zero-carbon power to fuel energy-thirsty AI data centers.
