Foley & Lardner LLP partner Jocelyn Lavallo delves into the increasing significance of advanced nuclear technologies in the clean energy landscape. In her article, she highlights the potential of blended purchase power agreements that merge firm nuclear baseload with intermittent renewable generation. This combination offers a cost-effective and robust solution for clean energy consumers. Additionally, Lavallo explores the application of nuclear-powered hydrogen production, specifically through small modular reactors, in supporting the U.S. Department of Energy's hydrogen hub initiatives. By strategically restructuring projects and leveraging layered tax incentives, value can be unlocked in this sector. Lavallo advocates for an integrated approach where renewables, hydrogen, storage, and advanced nuclear technologies work together to meet global energy demands effectively. The article underlines the benefits of combining these technologies to deliver reliable and clean energy while reducing risks and ensuring affordability. It also points towards a future where an amalgamation of these technologies can provide a portable and efficient solution to global energy challenges.
