Amazon, Google, and Meta Commit to Tripling Global Nuclear Energy by 2050

The tech giants join a coalition of companies, countries, and banks in pledging support for nuclear power to meet growing energy demands and climate goals.

Amazon, Google, and Meta signed the World Nuclear Association's pledge to triple global nuclear energy capacity by 2050, alongside 31 countries and 14 financial institutions.
The pledge was announced at the CERAWeek 2025 energy conference in Houston, highlighting nuclear energy's potential to meet increasing energy demands, particularly from AI-driven data centers.
Nuclear energy currently generates 9% of global electricity, but industry leaders emphasize its role as a reliable, carbon-free energy source capable of supporting economic growth and innovation.
The tech companies have already invested in small modular reactors (SMRs) and other advanced nuclear technologies, with projects expected to come online by the 2030s.
The pledge calls for policy, regulatory, and financial alignment to accelerate nuclear power expansion, while critics, including Greenpeace, raise concerns about safety, costs, and waste management.
