Meta–TerraPower initial dual-unit Natrium proposal
TerraPower’s 9 January 2026 commercial agreement with Meta funds early development of two new Natrium units, described as 690 MW of firm baseload power. Six additional units are optional energy rights, not six more committed projects. Initial delivery as early as 2032 is a target. Site and intended licensed operator remain undisclosed; no site permission is established. Storage boost is not reactor baseload.

Site and deployment
Meta–TerraPower initial dual-unit Natrium proposal is recorded at Initial Meta–TerraPower dual-unit site (undisclosed), state or province not recorded, United States. Operator: No operator is recorded. Vendor for a linked design: TerraPower. Stage: Announced. Location precision: undisclosed. Other documented relationships: Project proposer: TerraPower; Customer / offtaker: Meta Platforms.
Capacity
Recorded electrical output is 690 MWe (nameplate (gross/net unspecified)), scope plant. Modules planned: 2. Thermal output is not recorded on this project. The linked design record states 840 MWth (nameplate; basis unspecified) (module); that figure is not copied onto this project. The linked design record states 345 MWe (net); the project figure is kept separate.
