Meta Platforms has announced plans to invest $10 billion in a new AI data center campus in northern Louisiana that will run entirely on nuclear-generated baseload power supplied by Constellation Energy. The facility, to be located near Baton Rouge, is designed to house next-generation AI superclusters requiring uninterrupted, high-density computing capacity. Meta says the move secures its power needs against grid volatility and underscores its commitment to sustainable, carbon-free operations as global AI demand intensifies.

Meta has entered into a groundbreaking agreement with advanced reactor developer Oklo Inc. to support construction of a 1.2 gigawatt small modular reactor (SMR) campus in Pike County, Ohio. Under the deal, Meta will prepay for a significant portion of future power generation and fund early engineering, procurement, and development activities on the 206-acre site. Pre-construction activities are slated to commence in 2026, with the first 300 megawatt phase targeted to come online by 2030.

Meta’s multi-billion-dollar commitments to nuclear-powered infrastructure align with the U.S. government’s goal to quadruple domestic nuclear capacity over the next 25 years. By underwriting new uranium mining and modular reactor projects, Meta not only secures reliable baseload electricity for its data centers but also drives institutional capital into revitalizing the entire nuclear fuel supply chain, from ore extraction to reactor deployment.
