Google’s products and platforms, such as Search, Maps, Gmail, Android, Google Play, Google Cloud, Chrome, and YouTube, are just some of the many ways it impacts the daily lives of billions of people worldwide.
Google has also committed to enhancing the power grids in its operating regions.
Recently, Elementl Power announced a strategic agreement with Google to prepare three project sites for advanced nuclear energy development.
According to the press release, Chris Colbert, chairman and CEO of Elemental Power Inc., stated that these projects are helping companies achieve their long-term net-zero goals.
Amanda Peterson Corio, global head of data center energy, noted that collaboration with Elementl Power boosts Google’s ability to respond quickly to AI and American innovation challenges.
As part of the agreement, each project is expected to generate at least 600 megawatts (MW) of power capacity, with an option for commercial purchase once completed.
In collaboration with Google, Elementl Power will work with utility companies and regulated power partners to identify and advance new projects.
Elementl Power will continue to assess potential technology, engineering, procurement, construction (EPC), and other project partners, while prioritizing specific sites for accelerated development.
Ryan Mills, co-founder and president of Elementl Power, remarked that the partnership with Google represents a significant milestone in the company’s growth.
In October 2024, Kairos Power announced that it had signed a plant development agreement with Google to create a U.S. fleet of advanced nuclear power projects totaling 500 MW by 2035.
Under this agreement, Kairos Power will develop, construct, and operate advanced reactor plants, selling energy, ancillary services, and environmental attributes to Google.
These plants will be located in relevant service areas and provide clean electricity to Google’s data centers. The first deployment is scheduled for 2030, and it will help Google achieve its 24/7 carbon-free energy and net-zero goals.
According to Michael Terrell, Google’s senior director of energy and climate, Google and Kairos Power are working to add 500 MW of new 24/7 carbon-free power to U.S. electricity grids.
This agreement is a crucial part of our efforts to commercialize and scale advanced energy technologies that Google needs to meet its net-zero and 24/7 carbon-free energy objectives, ensuring that more communities benefit from clean and affordable power in the future.
