Description
Description | Collaboration between PPL Corporation and X-energy to explore deploying X-energy's Xe-100 small modular reactor in Kentucky to support large load customers with long-term, reliable, and carbon-free electricity. The project is aligned with recently enacted legislation supporting nuclear development, including a $75 million grant program for early site development. Early site permitting costs are expected to be less than $75 million, mostly funded through grants and project partners. The approach is phased and disciplined, with decisions gated by economics, regulatory certainty, and capital discipline. |
