Oklo Signs Fuel Supply Contracts With Centrus Energy
Oklo signed multiple definitive, multi-year contracts with Centrus Energy to buy high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU), fuel enriched to a higher level than standard reactor fuel, and support new U.S. enrichment capacity. Prepayments are included, and deliveries are scheduled to start in 2029, supporting up to five Aurora powerhouses for several years.

What happened
Oklo signed multiple definitive, multi-year contracts with Centrus Energy to buy high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU), fuel enriched to a higher level than standard reactor fuel, and support new U.S. enrichment capacity. Prepayments are included, and deliveries are scheduled to start in 2029, supporting up to five Aurora powerhouses for several years.
Confirmed
Global impact / market context
The contracts link Oklo’s planned Ohio power campus to fuel needed for its Aurora powerhouses. Prepayments put cash toward future supply before delivery, while timely fuel availability could enable deployments and power production; a delay could constrain those plans and postpone related revenue.
Analyst inference
The article describes a multi-year gap before fuel deliveries begin in 2029 and says the contracts support new U.S. enrichment capacity. Meta has prepaid for power production at the planned Ohio campus, connecting customer funding to Oklo’s fuel purchase, but no operating results are reported.
Confirmed
What to watch
- Watch for updates on the delivery schedule, especially whether fuel still arrives starting in 2029; delays could limit fuel available for planned Aurora deployments. Analyst inference
- Check whether the supported U.S. enrichment capacity advances and supplies the contracted fuel, since available HALEU determines whether Oklo can operate its planned powerhouses. Analyst inference
- Track progress at the planned 1.2-gigawatt Ohio campus and the role of Meta’s prepayment; power production there is the customer-backed demand tied to fuel procurement. Analyst inference
