Next week in Paris the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency and the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy of Korea will co-host the Roadmaps to New Nuclear 2025 conference, bringing together industry and government leaders to “address the most pressing issues for delivering new nuclear energy construction at the scale and pace required to meet the growing global expectations for nuclear energy,” said an OECD release. “The multilateral development banks that have signaled openness to nuclear energy, as well as major private capital players that have made nuclear financing announcements in recent months, will also join the event to discuss the policies and financing models essential to the scaling up of nuclear energy wherever it is needed.”
Journalists will only be permitted at the event’s press conference. The agenda includes addresses from the co-hosts as well as top government officials from Sweden, Ukraine and Kenya. Confirmed attendees include high-ranking officials from Canada, Belgium, Czechia, Finland, Hungary, the UAE and the UK, in addition to Theodore J. Garrish, senior advisor to the U.S. Secretary of Energy. In addition to a number of major global financial institutions, non-government organizations represented in Paris will include Vattenfall, X-Energy, BWXT, Hitachi GE Vernova Nuclear Energy and Orano (click on links for Site Selection coverage of company projects).
