Major technology companies like Microsoft, Google, and Amazon are shifting their focus to renewable energy and nuclear solutions to meet their growing electricity demands.
These companies have achieved the milestone of sourcing 100% of the electricity for their data centers from renewable energy sources.
They are also exploring the potential reactivation of decommissioned nuclear reactors as a viable option to maintain their net-zero targets.
Google and Amazon are investing in small modular reactors (SMRs) to diversify their energy portfolio and reduce reliance on conventional power sources.
However, the commercial viability of SMRs is uncertain, and there are challenges associated with waste disposal and fuel supply that need to be addressed.
Despite these challenges, the investments made by tech giants in renewable energy and nuclear solutions reflect a broader trend towards sustainable energy practices.
Collaboration between technology companies and energy providers will play a critical role in shaping the future of energy supply.
