The National Imperative for the U.S.: Meeting the Needs of Off-Takers

Tuesday, August 25|2:00 pm – 2:45 pm|Cortez AB

Educational Session|Advanced Nuclear

Description: Advanced nuclear deployment is increasingly being shaped by the needs of large energy customers, such as data centers and industrial users. This panel brings customer-side perspectives to discuss what these markets need from nuclear projects, including reliability, scalability, cost, contracting structure, site integration, and risk allocation.

What you'll gain: Understand how off-taker requirements influence reactor design, project siting, commercial structures, and risk allocation; understand the needs of high-growth markets such as data centers and process heat; and identify the practical issues that must be resolved to turn early customer interest into bankable projects.

Who should attend: Advanced reactor developers targeting non-utility markets, utilities serving large load customers, industrial energy users evaluating nuclear, data center operators and technology companies, nuclear project developers, and financiers evaluating off-taker-backed projects.
