GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy

The Emirates Nuclear Energy Company (ENEC) and GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GVH) have signed an MoU on the sidelines of the #WorldUtilitiesCongress in Abu Dhabi, UAE, to jointly evaluate the deployment of the BWRX-300 small modular reactor technology internationally. The MoU enables ENEC and GVH to further cooperate following the signing of an MoU in 2023 to evaluate the technology as part of ENEC’s ADVANCE program for advanced nuclear technology.   His Excellency Mohamed Al Hammadi, Managing Director and CEO of ENEC and Maví Zingoni, CEO of GE Vernova’s Power segment, exchanged signed MOUs as part of their commitment to explore opportunities for international deployment by collaborating on a development roadmap to include site identification, licensing pathways, investment and commercialization strategies and supply chain development.   “Small modular reactors have an essential role to play in an energy secure future and we are pleased to advance our collaboration with ENEC as the UAE seeks to be an early mover for nuclear innovation,” Zingoni said. “With projects moving forward in Canada and in the United States, collaborating with ENEC further strengthens our ties with the UAE and ability to deliver this technology and achieve a more sustainable energy future.”   Read the full announcement: https://lnkd.in/eXjU2Sqc   #FutureOfEnergy #SMR

Another milestone for the BWRX-300 small modular reactor! The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) has submitted an application to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to construct a GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GVH) BWRX-300 SMR at the Clinch River site in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. It is the first construction permit application for a BWRX-300 in the U.S. “TVA’s investment in the standard design of the BWRX-300 technology will accelerate its deployment, helping meet the rising demand for energy and enhancing energy security,” said Craig Ranson, President & CEO, GVH. “This milestone, in addition to this month’s decision by the Province of Ontario to build the western world’s first SMR, demonstrates that this technology is advanced and real.” TVA has invested in the standard design of the BWRX-300 as part of a technical collaboration agreement with Ontario Power Generation, Synthos Green Energy and GVH. TVA is also leading a coalition of utility companies and supply chain partners that has applied for an $800 million U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) grant to accelerate construction of the nation’s first SMR.  Momentum continues to build around the global deployment of the BWRX-300. Earlier this month, the Province of Ontario and OPG announced approval to proceed with construction of the first BWRX-300 at OPG’s Darlington site near Toronto. A total of four BWRX-300s are planned for the site with construction of the first unit to be complete by the end of the decade.

We’re looking forward to participating in World Nuclear Supply Chain 2025, hosted by the World Nuclear Association, May 20-21 in Warsaw! #WNSC2025

During a keynote presentation at the Reuters Events Small Modular Reactor and Advanced Reactor conference in Nashville, GVH Chief Commercial Officer Nicole Holmes highlighted the history of the BWRX-300 small modular reactor including last week’s announcement that construction of the first BWRX-300 has been approved by the Province of Ontario and Ontario Power Generation. “From PowerPoint to power plant, from concept to concrete,” she said. “That’s where we are. It’s real now. We are going into construction.” Learn more about the last week’s exciting announcement: https://lnkd.in/ewz76FuU #SMRAR #EnergyOfChange #FutureOfEnergy

The future of nuclear energy is here. Today we share that we have received approval from the Province of Ontario and Ontario Power Generation to proceed with the deployment of the first BWRX-300 small modular reactor at OPG’s Darlington site. The approval clears the way for construction of the first of four planned BWRX-300s at the Darlington site with completion of the first unit scheduled by the end of the decade. We are proud to be working alongside some of the brightest minds in the industry to make this first of a kinds deployment in the Western World from right here in #Ontario. Ontario’s supply chain is expected to contribute significantly to this project bringing substantial economic benefits to the province including the creation of thousands of jobs during manufacturing, construction and operation. GE Vernova has operated in #Canada for more than 130 years and its support for the Canadian nuclear industry dates to the early 1950s when the company helped build the first Canadian nuclear power plant, the Nuclear Power Demonstration (NPD) reactor that became the basis for the entire CANDU fleet. We are proud to be writing the next chapter in Canada’s nuclear legacy.

More than 70 members of our Wilmington, NC team volunteered recently to support the annual Work on Wilmington day of community service. The team volunteered at an elementary school and completed several projects including mulching, construction of flower beds and repainting the playground. Our employees value being able to give back to the communities where we work and live.

Tennessee Valley Authority has reapplied, on behalf of a coalition of partners including GEH, for an $800 million US Department of Energy SMR program grant to accelerate the deployment of the BWRX-300 small modular reactor.  TVA has completed the Environmental Review for the Clinch River project and last week sent a notification of intent to submit a Construction Permit Application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission this summer.

Celebrate Earth Week with us at GE Vernova, while we continue to power the world! 🌎 #EarthWeek2025 #FutureOfEnergy #GEVernova #EnergyLooksLikeThis

Excitement about the future of the nuclear industry was apparent during #CNA2025 in Ottawa. And there was considerable interest in the BWRX-300 small modular reactor. Our team enjoyed speaking with industry partners and colleagues about the technology and our work with Ontario Power Generation to deploy the first BWRX-300 at OPG's Darlington New Nuclear Project site. GEH Canada country leader Lisa McBride, MA (Lead) was honored to moderate the provincial energy minister’s panel discussion with energy leaders from Alberta, New Brunswick and Saskatchewan. Congratulations to the Canadian Nuclear Association on a well done event! We are proud to have participated and served as a conference sponsor. 

We’re proud to serve as a sponsor for #CNA2025 and look forward to connecting with industry colleagues in Ottawa. If you’re attending the conference, we invite you to visit us at booth 300 in the exhibit hall to learn more about the BWRX-300 small modular reactor and sign up to tour the technology via our virtual reality solution. And on April 17, plan to attend the provincial energy minister panel discussion on the Canada Stage, moderated by our Canada County Leader Lisa McBride, MA (Lead). We’ll see you there! #BuildingForTomorrow
