Blue Energy secured $380M to build grid-scale light water reactors using shipyard-based manufacturing inspired by LNG terminal construction. The first 1.5 GW plant is planned for Texas with construction to begin later this year, targeting cost and schedule improvements over recent failed U.S. projects.
