Enhancing Nuclear Energy Capacity - Exelon’s Strategy to Combat Climate Change
Summary
One of the main reasons for opting for nuclear energy for power generation is that it produces the lowest proportion of carbon emissions when compared to other technologies such as coal, gas and hydro. Many countries are considering nuclear power as one of the essential options to meet Kyoto targets and growing power requirements. Along similar lines, Exelon, one of the major power generating companies, as a part of its strategic plan “Exelon 2020: A Low Carbon Roadmap”, emphasizes the importance of nuclear power projects in cutting down greenhouse gas emissions. The company in the past has carried out many power uprate and outage projects, increasing the capacities and the reliability of its nuclear power plants. Opting for nuclear may be one of the prime reasons for the company already achieving approximately more than 50% of its 2020 carbon emission reduction targets in 2010, and it expects to achieve its remaining target well before the stipulated timeline. Exelon has plans to increase the capacities of its existing nuclear power plants through power uprate programs, and with the help of nuclear power it will reduce its carbon footprint and provide carbon-free power to all of its electric customers in the US.
