In a strategic move to meet its surging energy demands driven by artificial intelligence, Meta Platforms — the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp — has signed a long-term agreement with Constellation Energy to purchase nuclear power.
The 20-year deal, whose financial terms remain undisclosed, marks a significant step by Meta towards securing clean and reliable energy for its data centers. The company’s increasing use of AI tools and services has significantly boosted its electricity consumption, prompting the need for a more stable and sustainable energy source.
Constellation Energy, the largest producer of carbon-free energy in the United States, will provide nuclear-generated electricity to power Meta’s operations. This partnership aligns with Meta’s sustainability goals while also addressing the growing challenge of energy-intensive AI infrastructure.
“Our AI infrastructure requires immense computing power, which directly increases our energy requirements,” a Meta spokesperson said. “Partnering with Constellation ensures we can meet this demand responsibly.”
This is not Meta’s first foray into clean energy sourcing, but the nuclear power deal stands out for its scale and duration. Experts say such long-term contracts reflect a broader trend among tech giants seeking greener and more resilient energy solutions amid AI expansion.
As AI continues to transform digital platforms and cloud services, deals like this may become more common — where tech and energy sectors collaborate to balance innovation with environmental responsibility.
