Meta Platforms Inc. on Jan. 9 signed electricity contracts to buy nuclear power from Vistra and to support new reactors from Oklo and TerraPower, following a June deal with Constellation. The agreements may exceed 6 gigawatts—about enough for 5 million homes—and will back projects like Prometheus and Hyperion to power AI data centers. Meta says the deals will extend plant life, create jobs, and strengthen US energy infrastructure.
