Record Notes
Meta announced a massive agreement with Vistra Corp in January 2026 to secure 2.1 gigawatts (GW) of incremental nuclear power by extending the lifespan and increasing the output (uprating) of existing nuclear plants in Ohio and Pennsylvania. This agreement specifically targets Vistra's Perry and Davis-Besse plants in Ohio and the Beaver Valley facility in Pennsylvania, allowing Meta to secure consistent, carbon-free baseload power for its rapidly growing AI data center infrastructure in the eastern United States.
The agreement is part of a broader 6.6 GW nuclear power strategy by Meta to secure the energy necessary for training and deploying foundation models at scale. By leveraging uprates to existing nuclear infrastructure, Meta can secure massive amounts of carbon-free electricity more rapidly than by building new generation plants, helping the company meet its net-zero goals while meeting the extreme energy demands of high-density AI clusters.
