Amazon is providing funding for a new nuclear power facility in Sullivan County, Indiana, that will eventually generate nearly 1 gigawatt of electricity. The investment supports X-energy's development of 12 small modular reactors (SMRs) based on its Xe-100 design, which use TRISO fuel pellets and helium cooling. The project will occupy the site of a retired coal plant and is projected to deliver 960 megawatts of electricity to the grid once operational. Amazon has committed to purchasing the first batch of power from the plant, though no completion date has been confirmed. A company representative indicated the facility might be finished as early as the mid-2030s, though timelines remain subject to change. Nuclear regulators have not yet approved a full commercial SMR project in the United States, though some developers have received permits for site-specific construction. X-energy is pursuing a site-specific permit for the Indiana facility, but the company has not provided details on its progress. Other firms, including Kairos Power and TerraPower, have advanced separate SMR initiatives in Tennessee and Wyoming. Amazon's involvement is limited to investment and power purchase agreements; it is not engaged in the regulatory approval process for the project.
