Switch, a US-based provider of AI, cloud and enterprise data centres, has selected nuclear technology company Oklo to deploy 12GW of Oklo Aurora powerhouse projects by 2044.

The projects will be deployed as part of a non-binding master power agreement, which represents one of the largest corporate clean power agreements to date and sets the stage for a series of binding power purchase agreements as project milestones are met.

Oklo will be responsible for the development, construction and operation of powerhouses that will supply Switch with power across the US.

This long-term partnership is expected to accelerate the deployment of Oklo’s early powerhouse projects and support the company’s growth in response to increasing demand for clean energy.

Switch’s data centres, which power the computing requirements of some of the world’s most prominent companies, are set to benefit from this clean energy initiative.

The Aurora powerhouses will meet the surging energy demands of the future.

Switch founder and CEO Rob Roy stated: “The relationship with Oklo underscores our commitment to deploying advanced nuclear power at a transformative scale for our data centres, further enhancing our offerings of one of the world’s most advanced data centre infrastructures to current and future Switch clients.

“By utilising Oklo’s powerhouses, we aim to ensure that Switch remains the leader in data centre sustainability while supporting our vision of energy abundance.”

Since January 2016, Switch has operated its data centres on 100% renewable energy, utilising nearly 984 million kilowatt hours of green power annually.

The agreement with Oklo aligns with Switch’s goal to develop efficient, sustainable infrastructure, and promotes the voluntary market for renewable and clean energy sources.

Oklo co-founder and CEO Jacob DeWitte stated: “We are excited to collaborate with Switch on this historic agreement.

“Rob Roy and the Switch team share the vision we have for nuclear energy’s role in powering artificial intelligence and providing the world with energy abundance. Oklo expects to benefit enormously from Switch’s record of turning visions into reality. The lifespan of this master agreement will allow us to iterate and evolve with Switch, from development to deployment to scaling. We believe that working with Switch will not only accelerate our early powerhouses, but also accelerate our ability to scale by demonstrating customer demand for decades to come.”

In November 2023, Oklo partnered with two data centre providers to deliver 750MW of low-carbon power.
