UK to Commit Billions to Build SMRs

X-energy has just announced a partnership with Energy Northwest, signaling a major step forward for the future of clean energy.

A joint development agreement has been signed between US utility Energy Northwest and X-Energy Reactor Company for the deployment of up to 12 Xe-100 small modular reactors in central Washington State. Energy Northwest expects to bring the first Xe-100 module online by 2030.
