Reports: Germany looking to postpone looming closure of nuclear plants. While such a move would likely be temporary, it would mark a major departure from German energy policy over the past two decades, with the government having opted to gradually shutter its nuclear power plants amid safety fears over atomic energy.

Utility Dominion Energy is planning a major shift toward renewable energy and batteries as it looks to comply with Virginia's ambitious new clean energy law. That’s a big boost from previous plans to build four pilot battery projects this year and study them for the next five years before committing to a broader buildout.

The utilities involved have undoubtedly taken all necessary steps to improve their capacity for producing electricity; therefore, expanding another power plant won’t work. The main causes include a lack of fuel for diesel power plants, technical difficulties, and low water levels at the dams where hydropower is produced.

NuScale's situation underscores the challenges facing small modular reactor (SMR) companies developing a new generation of nuclear power plants. SMRs could provide zero-carbon power for U.S. And while the Department of Energy has issued a $1.36 NuScale and UAMPS told Greentech Media they remain confident in the project.

The original foundation was a combination of “base load” coal plants that operated 24 hours a day and large-scale hydropower. Beginning in 1958, these were augmented by nuclear power plants, which have operated nearly continuously to pay off their large capital investments. However, new nuclear plants in the U.S.
