As New York scrambles to transition away from burning fossil fuels, nuclear energy is in the spotlight.
Last month, officials with the state energy authority, NYSERDA, announced the agency had begun gauging interest from companies who may want to develop nuclear power plants in New York.
Weeks earlier, Governor Kathy Hochul noted that new nuclear plants could help power technology companies in the state.
“We recognize that now is the time to position New York to fully engage this new sector,” said Doreen Harris, NYSERDA’s president and CEO, in a statement. The aim, she added, is to “support the increased deployment of renewables as we work toward a zero-emission grid of the future.”
