Oklo Inc. has signed a memorandum of understanding with RPower, a leading provider of onsite prime and backup power solutions, to deploy a phased power model for data centers. This model combines immediate energy deployment using RPower natural gas generators with a transition path to clean, reliable energy from Oklo?s Aurora powerhouses, eliminating reliance on diesel generators and supporting scalable, sustainable operations. Once implemented, the phased power model is expected to work in three stages.

Initially, RPower?s natural gas generators will be deployed within approximately 24 months, depending on site conditions, to meet immediate power needs for data centers that the local utility cannot serve. Next, Oklo?s advanced nuclear power solutions, the Aurora powerhouses, will be added to these sites as they become commercially available, providing emissions-free energy. Finally, over time, the Aurora powerhouses will supply the majority of the energy needed, transitioning the RPower natural gas generators to backup and resilience roles and allowing RPower to serve as a Good Grid Citizen by providing extra power to the local grid in times of need.

By leveraging Oklo?s advanced nuclear expertise and RPower?s deep experience with prime and backup power systems, this relationship aims to offer a comprehensive, turnkey solution and speed to market for data centers and other large energy users. Oklo and RPower intend to work together to deploy this phased power strategy on behalf of their respective existing customers as well as new customers who can benefit from this unique combination of immediately deployable natural gas generation with the ability to transition to nuclear energy solutions in the future.
