Geothermal and Nuclear Power Acceleration

emerging tech regulatory
Intensifying grid constraints and aggressive decarbonization goals are pushing hyperscalers toward guaranteed, 24/7 clean energy procurement. This involves exploring non-intermittent generation sources like deep earth heat extraction and advanced fission reactors to reliably power massive compute and cooling demands, especially supporting surging AI workloads.

Amidst soaring power demands driven by artificial intelligence expansion, Google has secured a deal to procure 150 megawatts of geothermal energy, with operations potentially beginning as early as 2028 pending necessary state government approvals.
Google Geothermal Power
Google is entering a new partnership with Ormat and NV Energy to secure geothermal power sources for its data center operations located within Nevada.
Google Geothermal PPA
Google executed a Power Purchase Agreement with Ormat through Nevada Energy's Clean Transition Tariff to secure 150 megawatts of geothermal energy capacity in Nevada.
X-Energy Reactor Fuel
Amazon-backed startup X-Energy received authorization from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to begin producing nuclear fuel at a Tennessee facility for its small modular reactors, advancing the prospect of atomic-powered data centers.
Nuclear Powered Data Centers
The deployment of nuclear-powered data centers in the United States is advancing as a consortium prepares to construct proposed facilities for the Department of Energy at the Idaho National Laboratory.
