| Jun 2025 | Undisclosed stage | NVentures; Bill Gates; HD Hyundai Heavy Industries; HD Hyundai | $650M | TerraPower, a nuclear innovation company founded by Bill Gates, develops the Natrium advanced nuclear reactor technology, a 345 MW sodium-cooled fast reactor paired with a gigawatt-scale molten salt energy storage system that can boost output to 500 MWe for over five hours. The company is constructing its first commercial advanced nuclear plant near a retiring coal plant in Kemmerer, Wyoming, with non-nuclear construction started in 2024, ahead of schedule on Nuclear Regulatory Commission permitting, targeting electricity production by 2030 or 2031. On June 18, 2025, TerraPower closed a $650 million funding round from new investor NVentures (NVIDIA's VC arm) and existing backers including Bill Gates and HD Hyundai (noted as HD Hyundai Heavy Industries Holdings in some contexts), with UBS as placement agent; further terms undisclosed and TerraPower remaining private. This raise supports the first Natrium plant, estimated at $4 billion total cost with half funded by a $2 billion U.S. Department of Energy Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program grant (sources vary between $1.6B-$2B), and plans for 10-12 additional plants. Previously, TerraPower raised over $1 billion from investors like SK Inc. and SK Innovation. The funding aligns with rising nuclear interest for AI data center power demands amid policy support, including President Trump’s executive orders, positioning TerraPower ahead of competitors in next-gen nuclear deployment. TerraPower has partnerships for supply chain, fuel, and international deployment, including intent to enter UK Generic Design Assessment. CEO Chris Levesque highlighted on-schedule progress and industry solutions for carbon-free energy. |
| Aug 2022 | Series A | Bill Gates (lead); SK Group (lead); ArcelorMittal; Hedonova; HD Hyundai Heavy Industries | $830M | TerraPower is a nuclear innovation company founded by Bill Gates in 2006 that designs small modular reactors (SMR) and advanced reactor technologies, including the Natrium reactor and Molten Chloride Fast Reactor. In August 2022, TerraPower announced the first phase of a $750 million fundraise, co-led by SK Inc. and SK Innovation alongside Bill Gates. In November 2022, an additional $80 million was raised from new investors including ArcelorMittal and Korea Shipbuilding and Offshore Engineering, bringing the total secured in the year to $830 million. The funding supported TerraPower's development and demonstration of its nuclear technologies, including the Natrium demonstration plant construction at a retiring coal facility in Kemmerer, Wyoming, which was planned for completion by 2028 and was partially funded through the U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program requiring a 50% cost match from private sources. |
