GE Vernova, Hitachi to Explore Southeast Asia for Small Reactors

GE Hitachi secured a contract to build its BWRX-300 small modular reactor at Ontario Power Generation’s Darlington site — the first grid-scale SMR contract in North America. The deal is a milestone for SMR commercialization, likely to accelerate deployment timelines, supply‑chain investment and policy momentum for clean baseload generation. Expect positive implications for GE Hitachi and OPG and broader sector investment flows into nuclear as part of the renewable transition.
