Oklo Secures Partnerships to Power Data Centers Across U.S.

Santa Clara-based Oklo Inc., which is developing fast-fission nuclear power plants, said Wednesday it’s partnering with two major data center providers to deliver up to 750 megawatts (MW) of low-carbon power for data centers across the U.S. The commitments expand Sam Altman-backed Oklo’s customer pipeline to approximately 2,100 MW.

The company said its Aurora powerhouse design provides power directly onsite or nearby, with flexible 15-MW and 50-MW units that can be deployed in phases. This approach aims to minimize project risks, reduce financing costs and deliver efficient, resilient energy to meet the evolving needs of industrial and commercial clients, according to Oklo.

“The strong customer response reflects confidence in Oklo’s clean, reliable, and affordable power solutions,” said Jacob DeWitte, co-founder and CEO of Oklo. “Our approach helps enable customers to scale sustainably with reliable power aligned to their long-term goals.”

Michael Brennan will receive Connect CRE’s Lifetime Achievement Award and will participate in the Keynote Interview with Kevin Brennan, also of Brennan Investment Group. Join us at Connect Industrial Midwest 2025 on the afternoon of Wednesday, March 5, at Joe’s Live in Rosemont, IL, for this exclusive presentation!
