AREVA’s “clean energy” strategy to sell its nuclear reactors

Areva finds a third site to combine nuclear and renewable electric power, POWER-GEN , 8 July 2010 — Areva, the province of New Brunswick and New Brunswick Power signed a letter of intent to develop a “clean energy park” near the Point Lepreau nuclear station in Canada. The project represents the third such project that would be developed by Areva. The site would feature a mid-sized generation III+ nuclear plant and renewable energy sources all built by Areva. Power would be used in the province and exported to the Canadian Maritime region and to New England. Areva said the agreement further validates the clean energy park concept to build new CO2-free energy facilities. AREVA is working on similar developments near Piketon, Ohio with Duke Energy and Fresno, Calif. with FNEG.
