Deployment of XE-100 Small Modular Reactors in Pennsylvania

planned

X-energy and Talen Energy plan to assess deploying XE-100 small modular reactors (SMRs) in Pennsylvania and across the PJM Interconnection Regional Transmission Organisation market. The project involves exploring opportunities to deploy three or more four-unit XE-100 plants to add clean baseload capacity, support reliability, and meet growing energy demand. Early-stage project development activities include feasibility studies, site evaluations, and a project execution framework. The Montour Power Plant in Washingtonville, Pennsylvania, is considered the most suitable site for future SMR deployment, leveraging existing infrastructure and grid connections.
