Blue Energy and GE Vernova plan hybrid nuclear-gas power plant in Texas
Blue Energy and GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:GEV) have unveiled plans to jointly develop a 2.5-gigawatt power facility in Texas that will combine nuclear and natural gas generation. The companies say the project would be the first of its kind to integrate both technologies at this scale.
Combining Nuclear and Gas Technologies
The proposed plant will incorporate GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy’s BWRX-300 small modular reactor alongside GE Vernova’s 7HA.02 gas turbines. Blue Energy is targeting a final investment decision in 2027, with delivery of the gas turbines expected by 2029.Phased Development Timeline
Blue Energy has already secured approval from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for a development approach that allows key construction phases to be carried out in a different sequence. The company plans to begin preliminary site work in 2026 and submit its application for a construction permit in 2027.
Under current plans, the gas turbines would begin supplying around 1 gigawatt of electricity from 2030. Once the nuclear reactors are operational—potentially as early as 2032—the facility would transition to delivering approximately 1.5 gigawatts of nuclear-generated power....

It doesn't look like Blue has actually built a nuke plant but they have a nice website.
And $425 million in venture cash.
