☢️Constellation, the biggest US nuclear operator, got a conditional loan of up to $ 5bn from the Energy Department. The money upgrades 8 plants in Illinois, Maryland and Pennsylvania to add nearly 1.1 GW. That’s enough for more than 930,000 homes, the department says. Operators swap in more efficient turbines and parts, or refuel with slightly more enriched uranium, to get more power from the same reactor. No new plant, no new transmission line and no new licence from the regulator. New licences have taken years in the past. At Byron in Illinois, 2 reactors producing about 2.35 GW could add 150 MW. “All the infrastructure is here we’re just changing out some turbines and getting more energy out of it,” Energy Secretary Chris Wright said. This is the second deal this month. Vistra got about $ 4.2bn in October for the same kind of upgrades. The reason is demand. US power use is growing for the first time in decades, driven by AI data centres, electric transport and crypto mining.
