US-based small modular reactor developer NuScale Power has signed a memorandum of understanding with Estonian energy company Fermi Energia to evaluate the SMR plant for deployment in Estonia by 2031.
Fermi Energia is looking to adopt clean energy power sources to meet Estonia’s ambitious climate goals. In July 2019, it announced plans to conduct a feasibility study on the deployment of SMRs in Estonia with NuScale’s design one of the technologies chosen to be studied.
Under this new MoU, Oregon, Portland-based NuScale will support Fermi Energia as it conducts further analysis and considers deploying a NuScale Voygr SMR power plant in Estonia by 2031.
