There’s been a lot of talk about SMR’s over the years, it’s nice to see one finally being built.
Even if it comes in over budget, getting the first one done will be a great learning experience and could lead to figuring out how to do future ones cheaper.
Assuming it’s on time, completion in 2029, connected to grid in 2030.
That will probably change for batteries as well as we come up with cheaper options. Lithium Ion ones can be expensive, but don’t take up much space, but when you want grid scale, space isn’t as big an issue. I have a lot of hope for the new Sodium Ion batteries. They’re much cheaper, they just take up more space. Very new tech though.
