Energy Northwest has signed a joint development agreement (JDA) with X-Energy for up to 12 Xe-100 advanced small modular reactors (SMRs) in central Washington capable of generating up to a total of 960 MW of carbon-free electricity. Energy Northwest expects to bring the first Xe-100 module online by 2030. Under the JDA, the Xe-100 project is expected to be developed at a site controlled by Energy Northwest adjacent to the Columbia power plant.
The JDA defines and details the scope, location, and schedule under which the commercial development of the project will move forward. The companies will also work together to determine the best approaches to licensing and regulatory matters, as well as the project delivery model.
