Poland to build Europe’s first of its kind small-scale nuclear power plant in Włocławek
- Poland will build Europe's first BWRX-300 small modular nuclear reactor (SMR) in Włocławek, marking a major step away from coal towards cleaner energy.
- This project is a joint venture between the state-run energy giant Orlen and Synthos Green Energy, with a goal of having at least two SMRs operational by 2035.
- The agreement grants the new company, Orlen Synthos Green Energy (OSGE), full access to the American-developed BWRX-300 technology.
An Iowa nuclear plant is the next contender to restart, spurred by AI data center demand
- Next Era Energy is aiming to secure a lucrative power purchase agreement to restart the Duane Arnold nuclear plant outside Cedar Rapids.
- Duane Arnold would follow similar restarts planned at the Palisades nuclear plant in Michigan and Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania .
- Tech companies are looking to feed more more nuclear power on to the electrical grid to support their data centers.
Tennessee Valley Authority signs agreement for 6 GW of small nuclear
- The Tennessee Valley Authority announced Monday it has signed an agreement with ENTRA1 Energy to develop up to 6 GW of new nuclear power in the largest U.S. small modular reactor deployment program to date.
- The agreement calls for ENTRA1 to develop and own six “energy plants” across TVA’s seven-state territory. The nuclear company would then sell their output to the federal utility, potentially enough to power 4.5 million homes “or 60 new data centers,” TVA said in a statement.
- The project will utilize small modular reactors developed by NuScale Power. ENTRA1 holds the rights to commercialize, distribute and deploy NuScale’s products and services.
