The race to power AI-driven data centers is accelerating, and securing sustainable, reliable energy at scale is more critical than ever. In October 2024, Google and Kairos Power announced a groundbreaking agreement to develop up to 500 MW of nuclear energy through small modular reactors (SMRs), a move poised to redefine energy strategies for hyperscalers and data center operators. Backed by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program, this initiative aims for initial deployment by 2030, with further expansions through 2035.

This keynote will explore nuclear energy's implications for supporting AI's power-hungry demands, the role of advanced reactors in stabilizing grid infrastructure, and how data center operators can adapt to an evolving energy landscape. Join industry leaders from Google and Kairos Power as they discuss the intersection of clean energy, nuclear innovation, and the future of mission-critical infrastructure.
