Google partnered with Elementl Power in May 2025 to fund early-stage development of three advanced nuclear energy sites across the United States — each designed to deliver a minimum of 600 MW, for a combined capacity of 1.8 GW. Elementl will evaluate technology, EPC, and project partners while prioritising specific sites for accelerated development. Google retains the option for commercial off-take once complete. With this deal, Elementl is advancing its goal of bringing more than 10 GW online by 2035. Google is backing both Kairos Power and Elementl as part of its strategy for reliable carbon-free baseload for AI data centres. Google announced on May 7, 2025 that it would fund development of three nuclear sites to meet its data centre clean energy needs, following its October 2024 Kairos Power agreement as part of a multi-technology strategy covering new SMR capacity and existing plant restarts; the sites are at an early feasibility stage with technology selection expected in 2026.
