Walmart signed its first nuclear power purchase agreement with Constellation Energy on June 23, securing about 176 MW of zero-emission electricity from the Dresden Clean Energy Center in Illinois via two 15-year contracts that begin in 2029 and 2030. The deal includes 30 MW of new generation capacity and represents the retailer's initial step into nuclear energy procurement for clean power supply.
The European Union has launched a first-of-its-kind tripartite agreement to accelerate storage deployments, with 22 member states pledging capacity over the next two years. The Commission cited 30-35GW while the formal document states 45GW; the pact aims to lower system costs, reduce price volatility and strengthen local manufacturing. The bloc is estimated to need around 200GW by 2030 against 55GW installed at the beginning of this year.
