Nuclear PPAs are PPAs with longer duration, larger capacity, and higher absolute price, used to underwrite reactor builds. Post 003 names Amazon and Microsoft as the buyers driving the new wave of nuclear PPA contracting.
Institutional capital is reshaping data center power through co-located generation, shifting from traditional PPAs to integrated behind-the-meter structures. The $50 billion KKR/ECP partnership signals this is a multi-decade asset class, not a cycle.
Aalo Atomics' 92 percent permitting-time cut with Microsoft GenAI, Project Matador's 17 GW (four AP1000s plus 11 GW gas), Amazon's 5 GW X-energy SMR target, and the Google-Amazon-Meta-Dow nuclear-tripling pledge make CERAWeek the moment hyperscalers move from PPA buyer to nuclear sponsor.
NVIDIA / Emerald AI's flexible-AI-factory coalition, Microsoft / NVIDIA's AI for Nuclear, NVIDIA / Hitachi's 800V data-center power architecture, Amazon's 5 GW X-energy SMR commitment, and Google's Project Matador together rewrite the tech-energy interface from PPA buyer to private-grid developer.
