U.S. Energy Department offers $17.5 billion in conditional loans to strengthen nuclear reactor supply chains
The U.S. Department of Energy said it will provide $17.5 billion in conditional loans to help utilities and energy companies purchase long-lead equipment for five nuclear projects.

Projects must be jointly owned with Westinghouse, with each partner committing $500 million in equity up front, for a total of $1 billion. The financing structure also requires lining up major power buyers such as AI data center hyperscalers, including Meta, which are seeking steady, large-scale baseload electricity.
