POWER: Study Reveals Potential for 13+ SMRs in Netherlands by 2050

POWER

 A joint report by NRG-Pallas and TNO reveals that SMRs could play a key role in the Netherlands' energy transition, with the potential for over 13 SMRs to be deployed by 2050, according to the report cited by WNN News.

  • The study's results show potential for the deployment of 2 to 13 SMRs, each with a 150MW capacity, by 2050, with room for further expansion.
  • Additionally, the study suggests that while nuclear power is costly upfront, its absence could lead to higher system costs, making SMRs an economically viable option for the future.
  • The Dutch government has allocated €320mn in its 2024 Climate Fund to support nuclear energy development, including SMR projects.
