In context
“ed Nuclear closely evaluating the capabilities of various SMR OEMs. We have 6 gigawatts of SMR colocation opportunities at our nuclear sites, and we are working to develop new greenfield sites.

In fact, we have up to 6 gigawatts of renewables and 1.5 gigawatts of nuclear recontracting opportunities through 2032. The timing couldn't be better.

As the PPAs begin to expire over the next several years, we believe recontracting will command a higher price. In fact, in the first quarter, we contracted over 600 megawatts of existing projects, locking in contracts for an average of over 18 years, reflecting the strong electricity demand environment we're seeing today. Energy Resources customer supply business advanced its growth strategy during the first quarter, highlighted by our strategic acquisition of Symmetry Energy Solutions which is 1 of the U.S.'s leading natural gas suppliers. Symmetry operates in 34 states and provides us access to additional physical assets, enabling us to deliver a broad range of solutions for our customers. In fact, across all of our businesses, we now transport and deliver approximately 2.9 trillion cubic feet of natural gas annually or about 8 billion cubic feet per day making us one of the largest and most act”
