Amazon, nuclear technology company X-Energy, power provider Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Corporation (“KHNP”), and energy solutions and equipment provider Doosan Enerbility announced the launch of a new strategic partnership, aimed at scaling the deployment of advanced nuclear reactors to help meet growing the power demands from data centers and AI infrastructure in the U.S.
The new partnership follows a collaboration announced last year by Amazon and X-Energy to bring more than 5 GW of small modular nuclear reactor (SMR) projects online across the U.S. by 2039. Amazon’s Climate Pledge Fund also led a $700 million financing round for X-Energy to support the commercialization of the company’s SMR technology.
