Oklo Inc. (NYSE: OKLO), an advanced nuclear technology company, announced today that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP), a leader in nuclear operation and construction. The agreement outlines plans to collaborate on the development and global deployment of Oklo’s advanced nuclear technology. Under the MOU, KHNP...
EnergySolutions and WEC Energy Group are exploring new advanced nuclear generation at the retired Kewaunee plant, rather than a potential restart, a WEC spokesperson said. The announcement comes amid renewed interest in nuclear to provide low-carbon energy as electricity demand rises. Some of that interest has centered on restarting decommissioned reactors, but much of it...
The Trump administration on Friday authorized the relaunch of operations at a southeastern Utah uranium mine — marking its first use of a newly fast-tracked environmental review process. The Velvet-Wood mine, set to be reopened by Canadian company Anfield Energy, contains both uranium and vanadium, a mineral used to strengthen steel equipment in cars, building...
This recent Request for Information on the siting of AI infrastructure on DOE lands is an example of the Department of Energy setting out to do just that. In our response, C3 Solutions argued that speed-to-power should be the chief consideration when assessing the projects and that a variety of tools should be used to achieve speed-to-power.
The application kicks off a multi-year federal permitting process as the country’s largest public power provider works to bring its first advanced reactor online in late 2032. Read the article in Utility Dive here.
America’s solar capacity has been rising—in 2023, solar panels generated enough energy to power 22 million homes, eight times more than in 2014. While that is impressive, solar still only produces roughly 4 percent of our nation’s total electricity. However, a recent development in anti-reflective coatings could improve solar efficiency and increase that percentage.
We expect U.S. hydropower generation will increase by 7.5% in 2025 but will remain 2.4% below the 10-year average in our May Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO). Hydropower generation in 2024 fell to 241 billion kilowatthours (BkWh), the lowest since at least 2010; in 2025, we expect generation will be 259.1 BkWh. This amount of generation would represent...
Two weeks ago, tens of millions on the Iberian Peninsula lost electricity. While the reason for the disturbance could take years to discern, it’s likely that no single cause led to the blackout. Previous issues of this type and magnitude resulted from a confluence of mishaps and misfortune. If the American experience is any gauge, a final assessment of the...
Far too often, we get caught up in emotion and fiction. Take, for instance, the Three Mile Island nuclear energy generation facility incident that occurred in the early morning hours of March 28, 1979.
