Small Modular Reactor Design: Principles and Considerations
Small modular reactors (SMRs) are reshaping nuclear-energy strategies. SMRs are advanced nuclear reactors with a power capacity of up to 300 MW(e) per unit. This is roughly one-third the output of the currently operating nuclear power plants. Microreactors (10MW or under) can be factory-assembled, shipped by road, rail or barge, and then installed on site. […]

Planning Through Supply Chain Challenges: A Pragmatic Approach for Energy Owners
Supply chain disruptions are reshaping the energy industry and changing how owners plan, procure, permit, and deliver complex energy projects. Lead times for certain pieces of equipment, like transformers—essential components for AI data centers and the electrical infrastructure that powers them—are averaging backlogs of one to four years. At the same time, labor shortages and complex permitting requirements are adding pressure as energy projects become larger, […]

Turning the Power Delivery Lifecycle into a Competitive Speed Advantage
Electricity demand is rising quickly as large load customers, particularly data centers and advanced manufacturers, expand in certain high-growth regions. Some markets are seeing major transmission and substation expansion, while others are beginning to face longer interconnection timelines and tighter capacity constraints. That creates a very different project environment than owners faced even a few […]
