Nuclear energy stocks face volatility amid AI-driven demand and Meta's Ohio power deal

Technology companies are increasingly investing in nuclear energy to power AI data centers, despite significant volatility in nuclear-focused stocks. Meta Platforms has entered an agreement with Oklo Inc. to support a 1.2-gigawatt nuclear energy campus in Pike County, Ohio. This project aims to provide electricity for Meta's regional data centers and AI infrastructure, with initial generation targeted for 2030 and full capacity potentially online by 2034.

Oklo Inc. plans to operate Aurora reactors with capacities ranging from 15 to 75 megawatts. While the company has secured interest from major players, it still faces hurdles regarding licensing, financing, and construction.

In the broader market, many nuclear energy companies have seen substantial value declines over the past year. NuScale Power Corp. has lost approximately 82% of its value, Oklo Inc. has decreased by roughly 75%, and Nano Nuclear Energy has fallen nearly 68%. NuScale previously received standard design approval from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for its 77-megawatt small modular reactor technology in May 2025.
