- Siemens Energy would become Oklo’s preferred supplier for steam
turbines and generator technology for its Aurora powerhouse.
- Siemens Energy would also provide consulting to support Oklo in
related design work to optimize the integration of the power
conversion systems (conventional island).
- This partnership will help develop capability for scale-up of
the Aurora powerhouse deployments.
Oklo Inc., a fast fission clean power technology and nuclear
fuel recycling company, has signed a memorandum of understanding
with Siemens Energy. This agreement designates Siemens Energy to
potentially become Oklo’s preferred supplier for rotating equipment
of the power conversion system (conventional island) for the Aurora
powerhouse. Siemens Energy would also be positioned to provide
consulting to support Oklo in design work of the conventional
island. Through this strategic partnership, the power generation
equipment of Oklo’s powerhouses is anticipated to be
cost-efficient, well-proven, and sourced from readily available
components, enabling a key catalyst for deployment scale-up and
reliability of Oklo’s advanced fission power plants.

“Oklo is focused on providing clean, reliable, affordable power
to customers. Fast fission reactors are a proven technology to
produce heat and partnering with Siemens Energy takes steps to
secure an efficient, reliable, and scalable supply chain for
converting that heat into power in our Oklo Aurora powerhouses,”
said Alex Renner, Senior Director of Product at Oklo.
By partnering with Siemens Energy, a global leader in energy
technology, Oklo would gain access to a well-established supply
chain for its essential components critical to making power. The
partnership with Siemens Energy as a proven leader in energy
solutions would complement Oklo’s overall design philosophy for the
powerhouses, which is based on proven fast reactor technology with
hundreds of reactor years of successful operational history.
“The clean power generated by advanced nuclear is one of the key
steps to reaching a net zero future and Siemens Energy’s thermal
energy components and services complement the powerhouses being
developed by Oklo,” said Tobias Panse, Senior Vice President of
Industrial Steam Turbines and Generators with Siemens Energy.
“Working with Oklo as a preferred supplier will bring us closer to
advanced nuclear deployments and our net-zero targets.”
Siemens Energy's contributions extend beyond the supply of steam
turbine generators; they will also provide consulting to support
the design and integration of the power conversion system
(conventional island). Most importantly, this partnership
accelerates the commercialization of Oklo's advanced fission energy
solutions, addressing the global need for clean, reliable, and
affordable energy sources.
