The New York Power Authority has launched a Request for Qualifications to identify developers for at least 1 GW of advanced nuclear capacity in Upstate New York. The authority also released a Request for Applications for 40 million dollars in workforce training funding. These solicitations aim to establish a roadmap for new nuclear deployment while supporting the technical training required for the state's future energy sector.
