NASEO-NARUC Advanced Nuclear State Collaborative Webinar: Nuclear Power Plant Uprates

August 13, 2024, 2:00 - 3:00 PM ET

Please join the NASEO-NARUC Advanced Nuclear State Collaborative for a webinar on nuclear power plant uprates. Uprates refer to processes used to generate more electricity from existing nuclear power plants. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has approved 171 uprates resulting in over 8,000 MW of additional generation on the grid (as of January 2022). As demand grows for clean firm power, utilities and independent power producers are giving fresh consideration to uprates. This webinar will explore the three common types of power uprates, their potential to increase capacity across the existing U.S. nuclear fleet, how plant owners analyze costs and benefits of uprates to come to investment decisions, and the role of state and federal entities. Please click here to register.
