Date 2024-10-14 · announcement Figure measures grid connection Stated dates (targets and terms, not events) target operation: 2030; target operation: 2035 Stage announced Quantity up to · 500 MW (as worded: 'up to 500 MW of new 24/7 carbon-free power') Scope and limits An announced agreement for future reactors; no reactor named in it operated at the check date as far as these sources show. 500 MW is an upper bound for power to grids, not a contracted delivery to Google. Google links the grid's need for new sources to AI; the release does not name a data-centre site.
