Notes

Up to 1.5 GW plant in Letart Township, Meigs County, Ohio, on a roughly 700-acre site along the Ohio River under agreement to purchase from American Municipal Power. PJM interconnection request filed for the first 600 MW; first-unit construction targeted around 2030 subject to approvals and FID. Elementl Power was founded in 2022 and has stated an ambition to deploy over 10 GW of next-generation nuclear capacity in the US by 2035. In June 2026 Elementl signed an Early Works Agreement with GE Vernova Hitachi for up to five BWRX-300 reactors at the site, which would be privately financed, with construction aimed to begin in 2030 and first unit completion in 2034; the roughly 700-acre site lies along the Ohio River in Letart Township, about 100 miles southeast of Columbus. Google has a strategic agreement with Elementl covering three nuclear sites, and Elementl aims to bring over 10 GW of nuclear capacity to the US by 2035.
