This will be Part 2 of a “two-part” joint session between the Cost Reduction and Innovation tracks to discuss federal programs available for utilities and how they can be utilized. In Part 1 in the Cost Reduction Track, we heard about the programs available, including how to stack the Inflation Reduction Act tax credits and leverage DOE Loan Programs to benefit nuclear. This session (Part 2) will follow with utilities presenting practical examples of how they are looking to utilize these tax credits and federal loan programs, including uprate projects, pursuit of new nuclear, innovative plant modifications, and loan guarantees for developing hydrogen production facilities.
