“Ohio is a powerhouse in energy production, and today’s partnership announcements between Meta Platforms, Inc. and small modular reactor developer Oklo, Inc., as well as between Meta and Vistra – the owner of Ohio’s Perry and Davis-Besse nuclear plants – further cement Ohio’s leadership in domestic energy. Ohio is a deregulated power market, and these investments highlight the competitive energy advantage and confidence the marketplace has in investing in this state’s business-friendly environment now and in the future.Â
“Expanding our carbon-free nuclear energy generation is critical to both our economic and national security. As a frontrunner in reshoring heavy manufacturing, Ohio will continue to lead in creating more clean, reliable energy to support our industry partners while providing new jobs and affordable power for Ohioans.”Â
– JobsOhio President and CEO J.P. Nauseef
