Google, under Alphabet, announced that it has signed a historic corporate deal to purchase electricity from numerous small modular reactors in order to power their artificial intelligence technology.

The tech company has partnered with Kairos Power to have Kairos' initial small modular reactor operational by 2030, with more units to follow by 2035.

The financial terms of the deal and the location of the future plants in the United States were not disclosed by the companies. Google announced that it will purchase 500 megawatts of power from six to seven reactors, a capacity less than that of current nuclear reactors.

"We feel like nuclear can play an important role in helping to meet our demand ... cleanly in a way that's more around the clock," Michael Terrell, senior director for energy and climate at Google, told reporters on a call.

This year, nuclear power companies have made numerous agreements with technology firms, as artificial intelligence drives up power demand for the first time in many years.

In March, Talen Energy sold a nuclear-powered datacenter to Amazon.com. In the previous month, Microsoft and Constellation Energy agreed to a power contract to assist in the revival of a unit at the Three Mile Island facility in Pennsylvania, where the most severe U.S. nuclear disaster occurred in 1979.

Goldman Sachs estimates suggest that the power consumption of U.S. data centers will triple by 2030, necessitating approximately 47 gigawatts of new generation capacity, with natural gas, wind, and solar power being the assumed sources.
