Under the Vistra arrangements, Meta will purchase more than 2.1 GW of energy tied to Vistra’s U.S. nuclear fleet and planned expansions. The Ohio units are licensed to run through at least 2036, while the Beaver Valley unit cited in the deal holds a license through 2047. The partnership with Oklo will help advance a scaleable Oklo power campus in Pike County, Ohio, that the company says can expand to roughly 1.2 GW. Meta’s commitment is structured to prepay power and provide early funding to increase project certainty, secure nuclear fuel and advance Phase 1 development; Oklo’s campus could begin producing power as early as 2030. The package follows a June agreement in which Meta contracted for nuclear power from the Clinton Clean Energy Center, bringing the company’s nuclear portfolio to a scale rarely seen among corporate buyers.
