Oklo Inc. (NYSE:OKLO) saw its stock increase by 3% in early trading after unveiling a strategic collaboration with Liberty Energy Inc. (NYSE:LBRT) to create integrated power solutions tailored for customers with high energy demands.
The alliance focuses on providing comprehensive power solutions by combining Liberty’s natural gas generation capabilities with Oklo’s cutting-edge nuclear technology. Initially, Liberty’s Forte natural gas generation and load management systems will be deployed to address immediate energy needs, while laying the groundwork to incorporate Oklo’s Aurora nuclear reactors for clean, zero-emission baseload power in the future.
This joint effort is designed to serve data centers, industrial operations, and utility-scale facilities that require dependable energy sources with a roadmap toward cleaner alternatives. By integrating these technologies, the partnership offers clients seamless, reliable power alongside next-generation energy infrastructure.
Jacob DeWitte, Co-Founder and CEO of Oklo, said, “This collaboration gives large-scale power users a turnkey alternative that integrates generation, backup, grid interaction, and optimization, all through a single provider. We’re delivering a next-generation approach to energy that gives customers the ability to scale power with confidence and offers a clear path to zero-carbon energy.”
Having invested $10 million in Oklo in 2023, Liberty Energy will supply initial dependable primary power and flexible energy services, as well as future grid management focused on optimization and resilience. Once Oklo’s nuclear powerhouses become operational, they will be integrated to provide clean and continuous baseload energy.
Ron Gusek, CEO of Liberty, remarked that the partnership “redefines how today’s most energy-intensive industries can scale efficiently with cost-effective, next-generation power solutions.”
