For hyperscale energy & infrastructure teams

Your campus, energized 2028.
Not one gallon of freshwater.

Thorium One Power delivers 24/7 firm electricity and drought-proof cooling water to gigawatt-class AI campuses in the Permian Basin — bridge gas advancing to molten-salt nuclear, cooled entirely with recycled oilfield produced water, under mirrored 20-year agreements with one counterparty.

Capacity is being anchored around one or two counterparties. Reservations gate the 2028 window.

For power buyers

What offtakers need to know first

A gigawatt AI campus needs contractable power, water certainty, and a credible path to cleaner hourly supply. Thorium One Power is structured around those three buying requirements.

Question

What does Thorium One Power sell?

Behind-the-meter 24/7 electricity and cooling water for gigawatt-scale AI data centers, contracted through a power purchase agreement and a water service agreement with one accountable counterparty.

Question

Why is the Permian Basin the first focus?

The basin combines low-cost energy supply, produced-water feedstock, large land positions and Texas generation development speed. That makes it one of the few U.S. regions where power and cooling can be developed together at AI-campus scale.

Question

How does this help an offtaker move faster?

The site is designed to place generation, cooling-water treatment and load behind one fence line, reducing dependence on grid interconnection timing while preserving a long-term molten-salt nuclear phase-in path.

The offer

Three things you contract. One fence line.

Power, water, and a clean-energy trajectory — sold together, behind the meter, by a single accountable counterparty. No interconnection queue between you and first power.

Power · PPA

Firm 24/7 electricity

A two-tranche power purchase agreement: a bridge tranche priced at signing and served by a 1.1 GW gas fleet with storage from 2028, and a fixed clean-firm nuclear tranche that takes over as molten-salt modules phase in.

  • Capacity payment floor · 20-yr tenor
  • Liquidated damages on COD
  • Blended $/MWh falls through the 2030s
Water · WSEPA

Drought-proof cooling water

10.4 MGD of distilled-quality water under a take-or-pay water service agreement — produced from recycled oilfield water, delivered at spec to your cooling loop, with availability guarantees mirroring the PPA.

  • Sourced 100% from produced water
  • <50 mg/L TDS — cleaner than city supply
  • Zero freshwater permitting exposure
Trajectory · 24/7 CFE

A contracted path to clean-firm

Decarbonization with dates, not aspirations. Nuclear modules displace gas on a published schedule; environmental attributes assign to you; your hourly carbon-free matching improves automatically — no re-contracting, no action on your side.

  • Gas → nuclear transition baked into the PPA
  • EAs and expansion options assigned
  • Gas fleet retained as N+1 reserve
Water source

Your cooling water never touches a freshwater source.

Gallons of freshwater withdrawn — at first power, at full build-out, in the driest year on record. Not from a river, not from an aquifer, not from a city main.

The Permian Basin brings far more water to the surface than oil — on the order of 20 million barrels of produced water every day, an industrial byproduct stream that operators currently pay to inject underground.

We intake a fraction of that stream and run it through thermal desalination driven by the power island's own waste heat. What comes out is distilled-quality water purer than most municipal supplies — and it becomes your campus cooling supply. The brine never reaches your fence; the freshwater systems your neighbors depend on are never in the conversation.

No municipal draw
Your project never competes with a city water system — or appears in one's headlines.
No aquifer draw
Groundwater stays in the ground. No wells, no drawdown studies, no neighbors' wells at issue.
No ag competition
Not a single irrigated acre gives up water for your campus. The social license writes itself.
Drought-proof by construction: supply is tied to oil production, not rainfall. And because distillate enables hybrid wet cooling in West Texas heat, the same fence line yields 4–6% more usable megawatts than an air-cooled design.
The system

The waste heat makes the gallon. The gallon cools the electron.

Power and water aren't two projects sharing a site — they're one thermodynamic machine. That's why both contracts can come from one counterparty, and why neither depends on freshwater.

Risk allocation

We carry the technology risk. You get delivery dates.

This structure exists because of one rule, written into the term sheet rather than the marketing:

The PPA is never contingent on nuclear arriving on schedule. The bridge fleet alone serves your full obligation through the 2030s. Nuclear is an upgrade layer that lowers your blended cost and carbon — not a condition of your power.

RiskSits withWhat that means for you
Nuclear licensing & scheduleOursIf reactors slip, nothing in your contract changes. Gas serves the load; the nuclear tranche simply starts later.
Reactor vendor & fuel supplyOursMulti-vendor optionality behind milestone gates — capital commits only after licenses are in hand. Invisible to your contract.
Gas price exposureOursFixed-price supply and firm transport stand behind the bridge tranche. Your price is set at signing.
Water sourcing & treatmentOursTake-or-pay distillate at spec with availability guarantees — and zero freshwater-rights exposure in your permitting story.
Construction & CODOursLiquidated damages on commercial operation dates, for both the power and water plants.
Price & carbon trajectoryYours to keepBlended $/MWh and emissions intensity fall on a published schedule as nuclear modules phase in. EAs assign to you.
The questions your diligence team will ask
What happens if the reactors are late?
Structurally, nothing. The bridge fleet is sized to serve the full obligation indefinitely, and the contract's only nuclear dependency is the start date of your price step-down. Schedule risk on first-of-a-kind nuclear is real — which is exactly why it sits on our side of the table.
Is produced water safe for our cooling systems?
Produced water never reaches your equipment. Thermal distillation delivers water at under 50 mg/L total dissolved solids — purer than most municipal supplies — with continuous quality monitoring and spec guarantees in the WSEPA. Low-TDS distillate also runs higher cycles of concentration, so your towers use less water per megawatt, not more.
What's our emissions story before nuclear?
An honest one, with dates. The bridge phase is efficient gas with storage; environmental attributes are assigned from day one, and the contract carries a published gas-to-nuclear displacement schedule — a decarbonization commitment your sustainability team can cite, not an aspiration. By steady state you're matching hourly load with clean-firm generation.
Why not just wait in the interconnection queue?
Queues in major markets now run four to seven years — and deliver power without water. Behind-the-meter generation puts electrons on your bus in 2028, with grid interconnection developed in parallel as redundancy and export optionality, not as the critical path.

Why here, why now

The Permian is the only place this machine can be built

The basin

Fuel and feedwater, co-located

The lowest-cost wellhead gas in North America sits on top of the world's largest produced-water stream. Every input to the system is already here, at scale, looking for a buyer.

The grid

ERCOT speed, behind the meter

Texas permits generation faster than anywhere in the country, and behind-the-meter delivery means no multi-year queue stands between your campus and first power.

The rules

A federal fast lane for advanced nuclear

The ADVANCE Act and the DOE Reactor Pilot Program opened the most favorable U.S. licensing environment for advanced reactors in fifty years — the window our nuclear phase is built to use.

The market

The demand thesis is proven. The supply isn't.

Hyperscalers have announced roughly 10 GW of nuclear offtakes — but almost none of it delivers this decade. Firm 2028 power with drought-proof water is the scarce asset. That's what we're allocating.
