@IEA Long permitting & construction timelines can push breakeven points for new large nuclear reactors to 20-30 years after the project start, making it a tough proposition for commercial lenders. SMRs can bring the breakeven point forward, making the investment case more promising

A major new @IEA report on the Path to a New Era for Nuclear Energy is coming out Thursday!. With new momentum behind nuclear & promising technologies like SMRs, the report examines how to overcome challenges & increase investment in this clean & secure power source ⬇️.

Russia’s gas export revenues have fallen sharply – they're now 40% lower than before the invasion. As @IEA has highlighted, a major new wave of LNG supply, mainly from the US & Qatar, is coming and could help Europe cut its Russian LNG imports dramatically within the next 2 years
