US power company PacifiCorp is planning two additional Natrium nuclear reactor and energy storage systems as part of its generation resource mix by 2033.

The company’s 2023 integrated resource plan outlines plans for 1,500 MW of advanced nuclear energy from three Natrium reactors. The first is being planned for PacifiCorp’s Naughton coal-fuelled power site which is scheduled for retirement in Kemmerer, Wyoming.

TerraPower, founded by Bill Gates, said it is working with PacifiCorp to explore the possibility of deploying additional Natrium units by 2035.

The two additional Natrium plants proposed in the resource plan are planned for Utah, but both companies will engage with local communities before any final sites are selected, TerraPower said.
