The Nuclear Renaissance Disconnect: Utilities Plan Big While Stocks Lag
The Nuclear Energy Institute's (NEI) newly released 2026 Future of Nuclear Power survey captured American nuclear energy ambitions across 21 utility companies covering 95 commercial reactors. Reactor owners find themselves planning new reactors to meet the AI-juiced electricity demand of the future, along with the added demand from increased domestic manufacturing and electrification.
More than 97% of the units surveyed are considering or pursuing approval to operate for at least 80 years. It goes to highlight the long lifespan of reactor plants, with some owners now planning for operations out to 100 years from initial construction.
NEI estimates that uprates, restarts, longer refueling cycles, and other improvements could collectively add more than 7 GW of nuclear generation from the existing fleet over the coming decade. That's more than the power you would get by building six new Westinghouse AP1000 reactors.

The bill previously passed the House in a 417-3 vote on Wednesday evening.
Though progressives in the lower chamber had expressed concerns about the bill's lack of enforcement mechanisms, the faction ultimately backed the bill. It seemed on track for a painless passage of the Senate under unanimous consent, a procedure that allows uncontroversial bills to pass quickly.
The bill was introduced on the Senate floor Thursday by Sen. Jon Husted (R-Ohio), the bill's sponsor in the upper chamber, who noted that as many as 1,000 new data center constructions are expected in the United ...

Die Energiewende wird erwachsen (DZ Bank)
|
|
|
Die Bundesregierung will die Energiewende kosteneffizienter gestalten. Bundeswirtschaftsministerin Reiche verfolgt dabei vor allem das Ziel, den Ausbau der erneuerbaren Energien, der Batteriespeicher sowie Großverbraucher (unter anderem Rechenzentren) besser auf den Netzausbau abzustimmen und regional zu steuern. Die vorgesehenen Reformen enthalten unseres Erachtens allerdings keine Maßnahmen, die die Erneuerbare-Energien-Branche existenziell bedrohen würde..
