Oklo signs LOIs with data centres to supply 750MW of low-carbon power

US-based Oklo, a developer of fast fission power plants, has secured letters of intent (LOIs) to provide up to 750 MW of low-carbon energy to two data centre providers. 

Under these LOIs, Oklo will deploy its Aurora powerhouses, which offer scalable solutions of 15 MW and 50 MW units, for direct on-site or nearby power generation in select markets.

Oklo’s deployment model aims to reduce reliance on traditional power grids, enhancing grid stability and potentially avoiding costs for local ratepayers. This partnership expands Oklo’s US customer pipeline to around 2.1 GW, with new agreements supporting sites in Idaho, Ohio, Texas, and Wyoming. 

Earlier this month, Oklo received an environmental compliance permit from the US Department of Energy (DOE) and Idaho National Laboratory, advancing its plans to deploy the country’s first commercial advanced fission power plant.
