Reliable & Affordable Energy

Unmatched Reliability

Summer and winter have one thing in common: Electricity demand rises dramatically, as the power grid shoulders the added load from air conditioners or heating systems running at full blast. Reliable nuclear power plants generate vast amounts of electricity, and extreme weather brings their value to the electricity grid into sharp focus. Learn how nuclear energy helps to keep our homes comfortable and businesses humming.

Electricity Supply

Nuclear energy supplies nearly 20 percent of America’s electricity—and more than any other source in seven states. It’s a secure source that we can depend on 24 hours a day because it isn’t subject to changing weather conditions, unpredictable fuel cost fluctuations or over-dependence on foreign suppliers.

Energy Diversity

Energy diversity helps balance the benefits, risks and costs associated with producing electricity. Nuclear energy plays a vital role in America’s diverse electricity portfolio because it is a clean-air source that produces large amounts of affordable electricity around the clock. Maintaining a diverse supply of fuels for electricity production protects consumers from potential price volatility from any one fuel.
