It is a bold strategic partnership between the US-based nuclear development company and technology giant Google. This partnership focuses on three locations around the U.S. where innovative, advanced nuclear energy is being pursued. This smart move will help protect the nation’s energy infrastructure.
The partnership will focus on sites that are projected to generate a minimum of 600 megawatts (MW) of power each. Elementl Power is leading the charge in quickly developing these critical hubs. This recent effort provides a healthy push towards its ambitious goal of bringing more than 10 gigawatts (GW) of commercial-scale power to the US by 2035. It’s a move that positions the program to meet the increasing demand for more reliable and sustainable energy sources, while the world’s energy landscape continues to evolve.
Elementl Power is in the process of screening and selecting technology, engineering, procurement and construction partners to help deliver on this ambitious project. By leveraging innovative partnerships, the company seeks to mobilize the necessary capital for building new nuclear projects that can provide safe, affordable, and clean baseload power.
Just two months later, in March 2025, Google and Amazon joined forces to deliver an even bolder pledge. Their pledge to increase global nuclear power capacity three times by 2050 is evidence of their commitment to sustainable energy solutions. Google public policy representative Amanda Peterson Corio underscored the need for exactly these types of initiatives.
“Google is committed to catalysing projects that strengthen the power grids where we operate, and advanced nuclear technology provides reliable, baseload, 24/7 energy.” – Amanda Peterson Corio
Chris Colbert, another core participant of this initiative, emphasized the importance of collaborative partnerships in making these big goals a reality.
“Innovative partnerships like this are necessary to mobilise the capital required to build new nuclear projects, which are critical to deliver safe, affordable and clean baseload power and help companies advance their long-term net zero goals.” – Chris Colbert
Ryan Mills, co-founder of Elementl Power, explained his aspirations for what the company can do to change the field of nuclear technology.
“My partners and I launched Elementl Power in 2022 to solve a critical industry need and serve as a catalyst for private capital formation in advanced nuclear projects.” – Ryan Mills
As the world moves toward a more dynamic energy ecosystem, Elementl Power’s partnership with Google is indicative of a groundbreaking new model for nuclear development. They emphasize advanced technology and a diverse, reliable energy portfolio to supply America’s future energy needs. They aspire to be an international leader of the global sustainability movement to which they cite plentiful contributions.
