GE Vernova’s September 16 release reports that Blue Energy submitted the first part of a construction permit application for the initial BWRX-300 at Port of Victoria, Texas. The project proposes combining gas turbines and small modular reactors.
The company expects to submit the remainder in 2027 after site data collection. GE Vernova Hitachi supplies technical information and engineering support. Filing does not establish that a permit has been granted or nuclear construction has begun.
In an IEA scenario, electricity could cost-effectively supply 33 percent of final energy use by 2035; projected import savings are not realized outcomes.
The utility’s long-term plan projects lower emissions despite rising electricity demand; its solar, battery and reverse-osmosis targets are not completed outcomes.
