US sets target to triple nuclear energy capacity by 2050 with 200 GW expansion | To achieve this target, the US aims to build hundreds of new large reactors, and small modular reactors.
The US sets an ambitious target to add 200 GW of new nuclear capacity by 2050, aiming to triple its 2020 levels.
According to a new road map, the near-term 2035 deployment target reflects the urgency needed to make domestic nuclear energy expansion possible. Achieving the 2035 deployment target requires near-term action to establish orders of sufficient quantity for multiple reactor designs.” Achieving economy-wide net-zero GHG emissions in the United States by 2050 requires installing approximately 1,500 to 2,000 GW of carbon-free power generation.
