ČEZ said the contract increased the diversification of suppliers and helped the energy security for the country.

Under the teaming agreement - signed in Seoul on 1 April - the cooperation between Fermi Energia and Samsung C&T will focus on key aspects of the project, including the formation of an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) partnership, site constructability review, cost estimation, and financing strategies.

Rosatom needs to hire around 57,000 graduates of specialized universities and colleges by 2030, it added, but this level appears increasingly challenging.

With strong interest already secured from its financial partners, Fluidstack's Phase 1 of the project will be supported by an initial investment of EUR10 billion (USD10 billion) and is set to become operational in 2026. The facility's Phase 1 will ultimately host about 500,000 next-generation AI chips.

The key factor in the success of an energy production process is the cost per unit of energy which can be expressed in $ per kilowatts or megawatts. Catalysed fusion based on known costs of components from existing supply chains promises to be the lowest cost of all commercially available energy sources.

Just last week, the Britain Remade campaign group said hitting the UK's target for a clean energy grid by 2030 will be "almost impossible" without extending the operation of some of the country's nuclear power plants.

South Africa has a history of uranium production - generally as a by-product of gold or copper mining.

FAST aims to generate and sustain a plasma of deuterium-tritium (D-T) reactions, demonstrating an integrated fusion energy system that combines energy conversion including electricity generation and fuel technologies.

The UK awarded significantly more capacity in this CfD round than in the previous. In 2023, the UK awarded only 3.7 GW of renewable capacity, including 1.9 GW of solar capacity and 1.5 GW of onshore wind.

The first agreement was signed between Egypt’s Ministry of Electricity and a consortium of the UAE’s TAQA and France’s Voltalia for the development of a 3.2 GW renewable energy project, which will feature 2.1 GW of solar and 1.1 GW of wind capacity. The project would be located around 130 kilometers south-east of Cairo, near the 545 MW Zarafana wind project, and could be commissioned by 2028.

Thales, a global leader in the design and manufacturing of plasma heating systems, is the only European manufacturer of Gyrotron electronic tubes at its Munich operation.

Discussions also included the possible implementation by Rosatom of a project for the construction of a second NPP at Sinop. Rosatom said possible design solutions would be based on the wishes of the Turkish side to strengthen the effect of the project on the Turkish economy.

The Paks II project was launched in 2014 by an inter-governmental agreement between Hungary and Russia for two VVER-1200 reactors (units 5&6) to be supplied by Rosatom. The contract was supported by a Russian state loan to finance the majority of the project.

Rosatom Director General Alexei Likhachev said: "Rosatom has confirmed its undisputed global leadership in nuclear energy by signing the first-ever export contract for the construction of a small nuclear power plant. This is not just a preliminary agreement; we are starting construction this summer."
