NuScale Proudly Supports TVA and ENTRA1 Energy Announcement of Landmark 6-Gigawatt Small Module Reactor (SMR) Deployment Program
Represents the Largest SMR Deployment in U.S. History
Initiative Advances President Trump's Vision for U.S. Energy Security and American Leadership in Advanced Nuclear Technologies
NuScale Power Corporation (NYSE:SMR), the industry-leading provider of proprietary and innovative advanced small modular reactor (SMR) nuclear technology, today announced its strong support for ENTRA1 Energy's American landmark agreement with the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) to deploy up to 6 gigawatts of NuScale SMR capacity across TVA's seven-state service region—the largest SMR deployment program in U.S. history.

This historic program is expected to deliver enough carbon-free, baseload electricity to power at least the equivalent of the entire Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area, which is essential at a time when sectors such as hyperscale datacenters, artificial intelligence (AI), semiconductor manufacturing, and other critical infrastructure sectors are driving unprecedented electricity demand.
"We are honored that ENTRA1 has selected NuScale's U.S. NRC-approved SMR technology for this historic deployment in delivering power to the TVA region," said John Hopkins, NuScale's President and Chief Executive Officer. "ENTRA1's team of energy and finance veterans brings exceptional value to our partnership—combining energy sales knowledge, investment and asset management capabilities, deep project finance expertise, and experience in delivering large-scale power infrastructure. Their experience is exactly what is required as we enter this critical next phase of commercializing and deploying NuScale Power Modules™ into ENTRA1 Energy Plants™. Together, we are ready as partners to meet America's surging demand for reliable, carbon-free baseload power—powering AI data centers, critical mining, semiconductor manufacturing, and the energy-intensive industries that are driving our nation's economic future."
Delivering on President Trump's Energy Vision
This American landmark partnership between ENTRA1 Energy and TVA, along with the ENTRA1-NuScale partnership, directly supports our nation's energy dominance agenda and call to accelerate deployment of advanced nuclear technologies as a cornerstone of U.S. energy security.
By combining TVA's longstanding experience as a community-serving utility, ENTRA1's innovative development models, and NuScale's NRC-approved SMR technology, this program strengthens American advancement in next-generation nuclear power production. NuScale remains the first and only U.S. NRC-approved SMR technology ready for commercial deployment, making this program a reality.
"Energy security is national security—and dependable electricity is the lifeblood of America's future," said Skip Alvarado, ENTRA1 Energy's Chief Projects Officer. "It powers our AI data centers, fuels advanced manufacturing, and drives the critical industries that keep our nation strong. Without abundant, affordable baseload power, innovation stalls and supply chains break."
About the Program
Under the agreement, the program aims to deploy six ENTRA1 Energy Plants™, each powered by multiple NuScale Power Modules™, to provide up to 6 GW of firm, 24/7 baseload power within TVA's service region. ENTRA1 Energy Plants™ are owned and financed through ENTRA1.
NuScale's modular, factory-fabricated design offers construction efficiency, and scalability, with applications ranging from electric power generation to hydrogen production, district heating, desalination, and industrial process heat.
