Amazon plans nearly 1 GW small modular reactor project in Indiana
Amazon's nuclear project in Indiana would have a capacity of nearly 1 GW and could be one of the first modular reactor facilities in the US. According to one report, Amazon would build 12 small reactors directly to secure power for its AI needs (19–20 October 2026).

- energy specialist
- Large cloud providers are now building generation capacity directly, which creates a new customer and competitor role in the energy market.
- supplier
- The small-reactor build-out may create demand for components and services, so it is worth assessing the qualification requirements.
