The United States to provide Constellation with 5000000000 USD in financing to enhance nuclear power generation

BlockBeats News,October 27, the Trump administration is considering providing Constellation Energy with financing of up to 5000000000 USD to upgrade and modernize the company’s nuclear reactor facilities in Illinois, Maryland, and Pennsylvania.

The U.S. Department of Energy stated that, supported by this conditional loan commitment, the related projects are expected to add nearly 1.1 gigawatts (GW) of power supply, helping strengthen the grid and reduce costs.

U.S. Energy Secretary Wright plans to announce the financing arrangement later Tuesday at a nuclear power plant in Illinois. The plant will supply power to Google. Wright said in a statement: “The Department of Energy is accelerating President Trump’s ‘American nuclear energy revival’ agenda and fully unlocking the potential of our nation’s existing nuclear facilities.”
