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.

The New York Power Authority has issued a call for nuclear developers and delivery partners for its initiative to develop at least 1 GW of advanced nuclear energy in Upstate New York, and an invitation to training providers to apply for USD40 million in nuclear workforce development funding. ;

The Request for Qualifications (RFQ) follows on from Requests for Information issued by the authority last year, to which more than 30 entities - including 23 potential developers or partners and eight Upstate New York communities - responded. It aims to identify a set of developers qualified to deliver an advanced nuclear generation project across two possible technology pathways: a large-scale reactor, "such as the AP1000" and/or a small modular reactor "such as the BWRX-300".
