Leading global player in the power and renewables sector, Enel, has announced a strategic partnership with Ansalso Nucleare to explore and evaluate cutting-edge technologies and business models for nuclear energy generation. The collaboration is centered on Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and Advanced Modular Reactors (AMRs), next-generation reactor technologies that could revolutionize the nuclear energy sector.

The partnership will delve into the industrial applicability of these state-of-the-art reactors, which are still under development but promise to provide a sustainable and economical means of generating electricity. Designed to offer high versatility and operational flexibility, these technologies are paving the way forward in the future of nuclear power.

Both companies are committed to exploring the opportunities these new reactor technologies present, particularly from an industrial perspective. Both Enel and Ansaldo Nucleare have extensive experience operating in the global nuclear market. As part of their commitment to sustainable nuclear energy, the companies are also involved in Italy’s National Platform for Sustainable Nuclear Power (PNNS), a collaborative effort established by the Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security to develop a national strategy for nuclear power.

Enel, with a global presence in 29 countries, has long been recognized as a leader in renewable energy. It is the largest private renewable energy producer worldwide and the largest electricity distribution network operator by customer base. With this partnership, Enel and Ansaldo Nucleare are poised to take a significant step forward in the development of next-generation nuclear power technologies. By focusing on the development of SMRs and AMRs, the companies aim to advance the future of nuclear power, ensuring its role in a sustainable and economically viable energy mix.
