Oklo, a small nuclear reactor developer targeting AI data centre power supply, is advancing regulatory approvals in the US with key milestones expected in 2026 and has secured a 1.2 GW prepayment deal with Meta Platforms to fund construction, positioning it as a potential growth power player with long-term upside despite near-term stock volatility.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech, and 3 sources have reported it between 10 Sep 2026 and 12 Sep 2026.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You have a rare chance to enter the AI data centre power market early with Oklo’s US nuclear reactors backed by Meta’s prepayment, but build and regulatory risks mean you need to budget for a long development timeline.
