Meta considers nuclear for its power source by 2030s

Facebook’s parent company Meta is considering nuclear energy as a future power source for its operations, including data centers, by the early 2030s.

The company has issued a request for proposals to develop one to four gigawatts of nuclear energy capacity.

Meta seeks partners to manage the entire lifecycle of nuclear projects, including site selection, permitting, design, construction, and operation.

The company is open to exploring various regions, focusing on efficient deployment of nuclear reactors.

Meta is open to cost-sharing in the early development stages and plans to buy power once projects are operational.
