Technology giant Google has signed an agreement with a nuclear power project developer to commit funding for at least three projects that each would have 600 MW of generation capacity.

Elementl Power, a nuclear project developer founded in 2022 and based in Greer, South Carolina, said on 7 May that Google would help the company move towards its goal of bringing more than 10 GW of nuclear power capacity online by 2035.
