Overview

• ENTRA1 will develop and own six NuScale-based energy plants across TVA’s seven-state territory and sell the output to TVA under future agreements.
• The collaboration is framed by the companies as the largest U.S. small modular reactor deployment program to date, targeting up to 6 GW of capacity.
• TVA disclosed no schedule or financial terms for the program and described the memorandum of understanding as confidential.
• NuScale’s uprated 77‑MWe module holds federal design approval, though each site will still require NRC licensing as well as construction and operating permits.
• Next steps include identifying candidate sites with other federal agencies, exploring joint gas-fired options, and potentially leveraging TVA’s early site permit at Clinch River to meet soaring load from data centers and advanced manufacturing.
