Areas of study include financial incentives, state and federal regulatory impediments to growth, Texas electric market impacts, technical challenges, and additional factors necessary to foster growth of nuclear energy in Texas.
The Working Group must report its findings and recommendations to Gov. Abbott by December 1, 2024.
