How will SMRs impact the model, and what role can they play in meeting load demand? What role can SMRs play in the transition to clean energy? How do SMRs affect affordability? How do you balance all of the risks and requirements for SMRs?
Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) will be made available for the model to select as part of the Integrated Resource Plan modeling.
SMRs are an around-the-clock reliable, carbon free energy source. They can play an increasingly important role in meeting load demand and Dominion Energy’s prioritization of reliable, affordable, and increasingly clean energy.
Dominion Energy is evaluating technology readiness with considerations to design engineering, licensing and construction to ensure the deployment of SMRs can be accomplished with cost and schedule certainty.
