“Google is working on a catalyst for our project to strengthen the power grid we operate on. Advanced nuclear technology Google Global Head of Data Center Energy said in a statement. This moment of AI And American innovation. ”
The nation turns to smaller advanced nuclear reactors for its electricity needs
According to Elementl Power, each site will generate at least 600 megawatts of electricity.
The two companies will partner with utility companies and “regulated power partners” to “identify and advance” new projects, according to a press release.
Google also said that collaboration with Elementl Power will “help Elementl advance its goal of bringing important nuclear capacity online online by 2025.” Over the next decade, Advanced Nuclive Project Developer hopes to introduce over 10 new gigawatts.
