utility can reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 while still keeping natural gas as a central part of its business, both to generate electricity and to sell to its customers. That includes a recommitment to reaching its 2030 goal of reducing carbon emissions below 50 percent of their 2007 levels, potentially ahead of schedule.

While small modular reactors have powered naval ships for decades and are also in use in other military applications, they’ve yet to be approved for use in commercial power generation. In terms of cost, NuScale is targeting a levelized cost of energy of $65 per megawatt-hour and a cost to build that would equate to $2.9
