@StockSavvyShay Big move, but the meat is the buildout: Meta's Oklo tie-up targets a 1.2-GW SMR campus in Pike County, Ohio with first units aimed for ~2030—still contingent on approvals, so execution risk is the story.

To be frank: PJM customers would be better off if Meta at least contracted bilaterally for new gas power capacity than take 2.1 GW of existing supply off the grid and claim it as theirs! At least then, capacity prices wouldn't rise (though greenhouse gas emissions would—and Im

What may be worse is the precedent this could set: if Meta gets away with this while receiving credulous applause, it'll create a huge incentive for other hyperscalars to hit the same “easy button.” There are nearly 100 gigawatts of existing nuclear operating in the US today.

Buying electricity from an existing reactor can be a great financial hedge for both Meta and Vistra. Fine for them to do that to reduce uncertainty about future costs or revenues. But the simple fact that it is a good hedge does NOT add the gigawatts of NEW clean energy needed …

The problem: these new reactors wont start producing power until the 2030s (if they do at all, given the still unproven nature of Oklo and TerraPower's new reactors). Worse, the purchase of 2.1 gigawatts from EXISTING nuclear plants already producing power entirely sidesteps the…

Surging demand growth projections from data centers is a huge part of why electricity bills in PJM (which includes OH & PA where Meta's nuclear purchases are) have soared over the last two years, driving 20-30% annual increases in power bills across the region.

The only solution to this challenge: data centers must pay directly for enough NEW electricity capacity and energy to meet their round-the-clock needs. And if they want to avoid driving up pollution and greenhouse gas emissions (as @Meta says they do), it has to be new CLEAN

We really cannot normalize hyperscalers buying power from existing nuclear or hydro and calling it good! If we do, they will all stop doing the real, hard work of investing in the new clean supply we need to truly meet their soaring demand without exploding either utility bills
