“Google signed an agreement with Kairos Power to construct a series of so-called SMRs that use molten-salt cooling technology. The move is part of an effort to bring online new carbon-free electricity as the company builds out data centers in the next decade, said Michael Terrell, senior director of energy and climate at Google. Power supplies are expected to start between 2030 and 2035.

The deal, which will back 500 megawatts of power, includes Kairos’s 50-megawatt demonstration Hermes project in Tennessee, followed by commercial scale reactors sized at 75 megawatts, the companies said.”
