Plan for the next wave of customer demand
A new industrial facility or data center campus can change the scale and timing of a utility’s future capacity needs. Meeting that demand requires dependable generation, suitable connections, and a delivery plan that supports long-term investment decisions at a predictable cost and delivery schedule.
FNPPs can give utilities an additional source of reliable, secure power to evaluate as part of resource planning, particularly where waterside locations can connect to growing demand.
A repeatable route to new generation
Large generation capacity expansion is often developed as individual construction projects, increasing complexity and completion risk. CORE POWER is developing a delivery model that combines nuclear generation with repeatable shipyard production, to deliver multiple plants through a consistent, repeatable industrial process.
The benefit in applying a proven shipyard-based fleet model to nuclear assets is greater predictability as production experience and delivery capability sharpen with subsequent deliveries in the fleet. Applying a proven shipyard-based fleet model to nuclear assets could improve delivery predictability as experience and capability build across successive plants, while allowing for the site-specific work, licensing, and electricity connections required for each deployment
Scale capacity across the system
Fleet deployment can support additional units at suitable locations as demand grows, including multiple FNPPs at a site where capacity demand is high and conditions allow. The unique scalability of FNPPs gives utilities an efficient model for more flexible, phased capacity additions spread across multiple locations within a long-term plan.
The focus is dependable capacity and a repeatable delivery model. However, a smaller land requirement may be a secondary benefit to the FNPP solution, subject to site-specific infrastructure needs.
What utilities can evaluate
Reliable baseload generation to support customer demand
Advantages of phased capacity growth at suitable sites
Repeatable shipyard production and fleet deployment
Benefits of greater predictability in delivery timelines and costs
Integration with existing generation and grid investment plans
Part of a broader generation portfolio
Floating nuclear can work alongside existing nuclear generation, renewables, storage, gas, transmission investment, and demand-side solutions. Its role in the generation mix will depend on the specific utility’s resource needs, system constraints, and commercial requirements.
