Constellation’s Post

To my DC network that wants to come clean with nuclear energy:

Residents of Washington, D.C., are being given the opportunity to power their homes completely with nuclear energy in a first-ever utility program. #washingtondc #energycosts #nuclearenergy https://lnkd.in/eE8Zdxnr

"Ontario is eyeing three sites across the province for new electricity-generation facilities, including the possibility of large-scale nuclear plants, in order to meet soaring power demands." Sites with existing transmission: Lambton, Nanticoke, Wesleyville. #NuclearEnergy https://lnkd.in/g-sQZqaG

Faced with global climate change, growing energy demand, and ever-increasing energy security challenges – #nuclear energy stands out as a pragmatic option to diversify and strengthen our nation’s energy supply and meet these challenges. CATF’s Executive Director, Armond Cohen, makes the case for the U.S. to reengage and re-establish its historic leadership role in realizing the huge promise of nuclear energy. https://lnkd.in/grN_jc9h

Now we can choose! Constellation Energy is launching a pilot residential nuclear program in Washington DC before expanding it to additional markets next year. The program is offering nuclear energy at an 11.99 cents per kilowatt hour rate, lower than the average utility supply rate. https://lnkd.in/e9Hbp9j6 imgres

Continuing on a theme - the Senate Passes the ADVANCE Act to accelerate the deployment of nuclear energy. Amongst the many items it addresses, most notable from an energy transition perspective might be: "Requiring the NRC to develop a pathway to enable the timely licensing of microreactors and nuclear facilities at brownfield and retired fossil-fuel energy generation sites." https://lnkd.in/gBc2yPcC

Nuclear Power = Clean-Safe-Reliable-Scalable power for a secure energy future.

Federal government joins Microsoft and others in supporting nuclear energy investment. Constellation's $1B contract ensures reliability and sustainability in the energy transition. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/g6-aq4_4 #NuclearPower #CleanEnergyFuture #EnergyInnovation #FederalLeadership

Great to see this comprehensive plan to ensure America’s leadership in Nuclear and making it an important pillar for both decarbonisation as well as economic leadership by ensuring the AI revolution happens with clean and reliable power! Switzerland please take note on how this is done!

Power really is one of the most important aspects of solutions. This new Nuclear energy agreement is significant in terms of the path to a carbon free power source - though mostly whenever we see Nuclear, whatever reliability anyone can claim, we would be bit concerned about it.
