Microsoft and Chyros Power Innovate Nuclear Energy Solutions

In an unprecedented development for the energy sector, Microsoft has aligned with Chyros Power to tackle the growing energy requirements of artificial intelligence (AI). The partnership focuses on constructing small modular reactors to contribute an additional 500 megawatts (MW) of nuclear power by the decade's end. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to ensure that the tech giant can power its AI ambitions sustainably. While these advanced reactors are still in the experimental stage and currently do not exist, Chyros aims to reveal a demonstration model by 2030. Meanwhile, in a related move, Microsoft signed an agreement with Constellation Energy to revitalize the 3M Island nuclear reactor, anticipated to come online by 2028. The proactive measures from these companies underscore the urgency of addressing energy supply well into the future, with concrete plans set for as far as 2035.
