Entergy mulls expanding US nuclear power capacity, execs say
Adds details about Entergy's nuclear expansion prospects starting in paragraph 3
By Laila Kearney
NEW YORK, Oct 31 (Reuters) -Entergy ETR.N is considering expanding its nuclear power generation capacity and exploring new nuclear technologies,with the Louisiana electric utility mullingbuilding a new reactor in Mississippi and upgrading existing plants, company executives said on Thursday.
The U.S.nuclear power industry is seeing a revival, after decades of floundering, in light of rising electricity demand and the vast energy needs of Big Tech's AI data centers.
Entergy, which provides electricity to parts of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, is exploring several operations for growing its roughly 5,000 megawatts (MW) of nuclear capacity, executives with the company said on an earnings call.
The company has an early site permit, issued by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in 2007, for a potential new reactor at its Grand Gulf nuclear site in Mississippi.
Entergy said it is also considering upgrading its existing nuclear plants to increase total capacity by as much as 300 MW in a process known as uprating.
Those uprates would likely take place at Entergy's Arkansas and Louisiana plants and not at its Grand Gulf plant, executives said.
Longer-term, Entergy is looking at helping to develop new nuclear technologies.
The company also has a memorandum of understanding with Holtec to evaluate the use of small modular reactors in Entergy's service.
The utility is in several industry working groups about the development of those small reactors, which have never been built in the United States. It is in separate state working groups in Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi about expanding nuclear power.
