The Impact on the Energy Landscape

The deals announced by Amazon and X-Energy have significant implications for the energy landscape. The construction of SMRs in the Pacific Northwest and Virginia will add around 300 megawatts of nuclear power capacity, enough to power about 1 million homes. The investment in X-Energy will support the development of up to 5,000 megawatts of new nuclear power throughout the U.S. by 2039.
