<\/strong>Canada<\/strong> greenlights USD 15 bn SMR buildout: <\/strong>Canada\u2019s Ontario province has approved Ontario Power Generation\u2019s (OPG) plan to build four small modular reactors (SMRs) with a capacity of 1.2 GW and a total estimated cost of CAD 21 bn (c.USD 15 bn), according to a statement<\/a> issued last week. The first reactor will have a capacity of 300 MW and is expected to cost CAD 6.1 bn (c.USD 4.4 bn), with the following reactors expected to come in cheaper as OPG builds up technical expertise. All four units are expected to be operating by 2035, with the first SMR coming online by 2030, Axios<\/a> reported last week. <\/p>\n

SMRs drawing bets: <\/strong>Google inked an agreement<\/a> to purchase power from SMRs company Kairos Power to meet the growing energy demand from data centers last year, marking the first corporate agreement worldwide to buy nuclear energy from SMRs. Meanwhile, SMR developer Terra Innovatum is targeting 2028 for its first commercial deployment<\/a> and is in the process of securing regulatory approvals from the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission.<\/p>\n

V-<\/strong>Green<\/strong> to deploy 63k VinFast EV charging ports in Indonesia:<\/strong> Vietnamese EV charging company V-Green has signed four MoUs with Chargecore, Chargepoint, Amarta Group, and CVS to roll out around 63k VinFast charging ports across Indonesia by year-end, according to a press release<\/a> issued last week. The project \u2014 to kick off next month \u2014 will see the companies collectively invest USD 300 mn. V-Green was launched last year<\/a> by VinFast\u2019s founder to develop a comprehensive charging network. <\/p>\n

Some regional interest in <\/strong>VinFast<\/strong>:<\/strong> Qatar\u2019s JTA Investment signed an MoU in March to explore a USD 1 bn equity stake<\/a> in VinFast, while the UAE\u2019s Emirates Driving Company was reportedly leading a consortium<\/a> last October looking to invest at least USD 1 bn in the company. The EV maker made its entry<\/a> to the Qatari market last August. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
