The United States is confronting an unprecedented surge in electricity demand, driven by rapid advancements in artificial intelligence, domestic manufacturing, and economic expansion. Meeting this moment requires serious, sustained investment in reliable, around-the-clock energy, and nuclear power is uniquely positioned to deliver it.
The nuclear energy tax credits—Sections 45U, 45Y, 48C, and 48E—are essential tools to retain and grow our nuclear capacity. These provisions support the long-term viability of our existing fleet and incentivize the deployment of new nuclear technologies. Preserving these credits is critical to strengthening U.S. energy security, fostering economic growth, and bolstering our economic competitiveness.
