Brookfield Asset Management has entered into an agreement with The Nuclear Company to establish a joint venture focused on developing nuclear power projects using reactor technology from Westinghouse Electric Company. Announced on May 4, the partnership will combine Brookfield’s capabilities in asset management and energy infrastructure with nuclear project delivery expertise, including engineering oversight and licensing support. The venture is expected to advance projects centred on AP1000 and AP300 reactors amid increasing global demand for low-carbon electricity. The move aligns with broader efforts by governments and investors to revive nuclear energy as a stable, emissions-free power source. The companies aim to finalise agreements in the coming months, subject to regulatory approvals, while also taking on a role in a proposed project in South Carolina.

The companies stated that the joint venture will focus on supporting the deployment of Westinghouse’s AP1000 and AP300 reactor technologies. Its scope will include project management, licensing support, and oversight of engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning activities associated with these nuclear systems.
The development comes at a time when governments and investors are revisiting nuclear power as a reliable and emissions-free source of electricity. Rising power demand from data centres and broader electrification trends has contributed to renewed interest in nuclear generation as part of long-term energy transition strategies.
In the United States, efforts to expand nuclear capacity have gathered pace. The government entered into a partnership in the past year with Canadian owners of Westinghouse Electric aimed at developing at least USD 80 billion worth of nuclear reactors, reflecting a broader push to scale up clean energy infrastructure.
Brookfield and The Nuclear Company indicated that they expect to move towards definitive agreements for the joint venture in the coming months, subject to necessary regulatory approvals.
As part of the arrangement, Brookfield has appointed the new venture as project manager for the proposed restart of the partially completed V.C. Summer Units 2 and 3 in South Carolina. The project, which had previously been halted, represents one of the notable efforts to revive unfinished nuclear infrastructure in the United States.
The collaboration signals continued private sector participation in nuclear development, with institutional capital and specialist project expertise being deployed to support the construction and completion of large-scale power assets.
