CRA’s Energy Practice helps clients evaluate the economic, market, regulatory, and strategic role of nuclear generation within the broader power system. Our experts combine detailed power-market modeling and resource adequacy analysis with generation economics, utility strategy, regulatory expertise, and transaction advisory capabilities.

We work with utilities, developers, investors, large energy consumers, policymakers, and other stakeholders on both existing nuclear assets and new nuclear development. Our analysis considers nuclear resources not in isolation, but in the context of competing technologies and their contribution to energy, capacity, reliability, flexibility, and long-term system needs.

Our services include:

  • Nuclear market and strategy assessment
  • Existing plant economics
  • Advanced nuclear and SMRs
  • Power market and revenue forecasting
  • Resource adequacy and reliability value
  • New-build economics and business cases
  • Large-load and data center opportunities
  • Regulatory and policy analysis
  • Commercial and transaction due diligence
  • Contract and commercial analysis
  • Litigation and expert support
