Q25-7713KK Developer/ Partners to support NYPA’s Advanced Nuclear Power Project

This Request for Information (RFI) is issued by the New York Power Authority (NYPA or the Authority) to solicit input on actionable project concepts and business models in developing advanced nuclear projects in Upstate New York[1]. In June 2025, Governor Hochul called on NYPA, in coordination with the Department of Public Service (DPS), to develop at least one gigawatt (1 GW) of advanced nuclear[2] capacity in Upstate New York. NYPA is responding to this by evaluating the technologies, business models and locations to help bring this capacity online in partnership with other public and private entities. This initiative is intended to deliver firm, zero-emission power that complements renewable generation, strengthens grid reliability, prioritizes affordability and advances the State’s clean energy and decarbonization goals. Through this RFI, NYPA seeks detailed responses from nuclear project developers and partners to provide viable project concepts that include technology, siting considerations, cost and timeline assumptions, ownership structure and partnership models with NYPA that can demonstrate a credible path to delivering at least 1 GW of advanced nuclear capacity as soon as possible, but no later than 2040. In a complementary effort, New York is also pursuing an Advanced Nuclear Master Plan, which will provide a framework for in-depth examination into the key issues raised by last year’s nuclear Blueprint to develop recommendations for implementation of advanced nuclear technologies in New York State. Respondents are hereby directed to the New York Power Authority’s website at www.nypa.gov. In order to obtain a complete copy of the Solicitation and instructions on participating in the solicitation process. Respondents obtaining the Solicitation of Interest from sources other than NYPA.gov do so at their own risk. Further details on qualifications/requirements can be found in the Solicitation of Interest Documents.
