Energy Solutions says Delta IPP site under evaluation for new nuclear plant
Summary
Energy Solutions described an early-stage partnership with the Intermountain Power Agency and the state to evaluate the Delta Intermountain Power Project site for new nuclear development, citing existing transmission, water access and generation infrastructure.
Ken Robock, chief executive of Energy Solutions, said the company is part of an early-stage partnership with the Intermountain Power Agency and the state of Utah to evaluate the Delta IPP site as a candidate for new nuclear. "It's a partnership in the early stages between, Intermountain Power Agency, Energy Solutions, and the state of Utah to evaluate the, this IPP site in Delta, Utah for new nuclear," Robock said, and noted the site already hosts two coal plants and two combined-cycle units with transmission and water access.
Robock framed Delta as an existing energy hub that could reduce siting friction because of infrastructure already in place; he said local community support for large projects historically has been strong and that the partnership will proceed with site evaluation rather than immediate commitments to build.
