The Kairos Power Operations, Manufacturing, and Development Alliance (KP-OMADA) brings together leading North American utilities and generating companies to advise on the development of Kairos Power’s advanced reactor technology, including licensing, manufacturing, construction, and operations. Every year, KP-OMADA members visit Kairos Power’s Manufacturing Development Campus in Albuquerque, New Mexico, for an up-close look at the testing and manufacturing operations, lessons learned, and progress towards commercialization. At our recent annual meeting, Kairos Power welcomed KP-OMADA's newest member,?American Electric Power, which is exploring small modular reactors to address increasing energy demand.?AEP?delivers electricity to approximately 5.5 million customers in 11 states and has decades of experience as a nuclear power plant owner/operator.? “Through KP-OMADA engagements with industry leaders like American Electric Power, we gain valuable utility leadership feedback from both a customer and operator perspective,” said Jeffrey Olson, Kairos Power Vice President of Business Development & Finance. “AEP?brings a demonstrated commitment to collaborate on real-world challenges, along with a wealth of experience to complement Kairos Power’s iterative development approach. We are grateful to have them onboard.” “Having the opportunity to see the development of SMR technology up close is one of the many reasons?AEP?is excited to join this group of industry leaders,” said Shane Lies,?AEP?Executive Vice President of Projects and Services. “Collaboration is at the core of the electric power industry. Whether it’s helping another company restore power after a storm, or sharing ideas about emerging generation technology, we understand the value of exchanging ideas and learning from each other.”? American Electric Power joins an esteemed group of fellow KP-OMADA member corporations, including?Bruce Power, Constellation,?Dominion Energy,?Entergy, Southern Company,?and the?Tennessee Valley Authority.? At this year’s meeting, we had the privilege of including?Google?as a special guest,?who brought an important customer perspective to the conversation with KP-OMADA utilities. Kairos Power is working with Google to deploy 500 MW of capacity for the company’s data centers in relevant service territories. We are thrilled to have KP-OMADA's ongoing support in deploying advanced nuclear technology to enable the clean energy transition. We look forward to continued growth and progress in 2025!?
