Enel’s move into small modular reactors through its budding partnership with Ansaldo and Leonardo highlights the resurgence of interest in nuclear power due to rising electricity demands.
Flavio Cattaneo, Enel’s CEO, confirmed a surge in interest for data centers, revealing between 40 to 50 letters of intent from potential builders in Italy.
Despite challenges faced by existing SMR startups, the robust financial backing of Enel and partners may redefine the landscape, accelerating nuclear energy adoption in Italy.
With major tech companies seeing nuclear power as a solution to energy demands, Enel's initiative comes at a time when traditional opposition to nuclear in Italy is waning.
