The UK government has picked Wylfa in Anglesey, North Wales, as its preferred site for the the country’s third large-scale nuclear power plant after Hinkley C in Somerset and Sizewell […]

The post UK Picks Wylfa in Wales as Preferred Site for New ‘Mega’ Nuclear Project appeared first on POWER Magazine.

The UK’s Jan. 11, 2024–released nuclear roadmap proposes a new approach to siting of new nuclear after 2025. Of its eight nuclear sites, only two sites in the country—Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C—have been granted development consent. “This does not leave enough viable sites to meet our nuclear ambitions, and new generations of nuclear technology (SMR and AMR) are likely to be deployed more fexibly. In practice, we need all the possible nuclear sites to be used for nuclear, in order to meet our power needs,” the roadmap says. Source: UK government

NERC: Summer Grid Outlook Improved But Still Vulnerable to Extreme Weather, Demand Growth Spikes

All regions across the bulk power system (BPS) are generally prepared to meet resource adequacy criteria to meet normal peak demand this summer, but ongoing concerns about extreme weather events, […]

The post NERC: Summer Grid Outlook Improved But Still Vulnerable to Extreme Weather, Demand Growth Spikes appeared first on POWER Magazine.

NERC’s 2024 Summer Reliability Assessment (SRA) finds that a large part of North America remains at risk of supply shortfalls, while other areas show reduced risk due to resource additions. Expected wide-area heat events that affect generation, wind output, or transmission systems coupled with demand growth in some areas are contributing to adequacy risks for resources and transmission. All areas are assessed to have adequate supply for normal peak load due, in large part, to a record 25 GW of additional solar capacity added since last year. However, energy risks are growing in several areas when solar, wind, and hydro output are low. Courtesy: NERC
