Unlocking Capital for Nuclear Power: Investing in Small Modular Reactor (SMR) Startups
Economics and Financing of Nuclear Power Webinar Series
Description
As the world grapples with the urgent need for sustainable energy solutions, nuclear energy presents a pivotal opportunity for achieving low-carbon power generation. At COP28, nuclear power was for the first time recognized as a low-emission technology to help achieve deep and sustained reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. 25 countries and the nuclear industry called for a tripling of nuclear capacity by 2050. However, financing nuclear energy projects poses unique challenges and opportunities for banks and private sector financiers.
Join us for a webinar which, following “The Finance COP” in Baku, will delve into these complexities. The webinar will discuss the SMR startup landscape, technical innovation and market viability, and the role of collaboration and partnerships for investment in SMR companies. It will provide a platform for dialogue between financial institutions, nuclear industry experts, and policymakers.
This webinar is organized by the IAEA’s Planning and Economic Studies Section.
