Description (excerpt):

New nuclear power plants are large, capital-intensive projects. They provide major long-term benefits, however—stable, competitive electricity prices and reliable, carbon-free power. These benefits lead many utilities and state regulators to favor new nuclear reactor construction as a strategic resource when planning to meet future electricity demand. To assist regulated utilities with the financing for these large projects and to provide the lowest cost to consumers, many states have policies in place to lower the cost of financing and expedite regulatory reviews.
