Innovation character

The PWR-20 was engineered for ease of constructability and rapid deployment, utilizing reactor technology found in over 300 plants worldwide, standard industrial equipment and supply chains. The plant's modules are factory-fabricated and shipped using standard-size trucks, accelerating delivery to 24 months.

Energetic transition

Nuclear energy offers low carbon emissions, reliable baseload power capabilities, and enhanced energy security providing the world a stable and scalable solution to meet the rising electricity demands while mitigating climate change. Last Energy's PWR-20 micro nuclear power plant makes nuclear energy accessible to all with its small size, low up-front capital, and energy-as-a-service business model. Militaries around the world are in need of clean, reliable, resilient energy sources. Ongoing global conflicts and their ramifications have shown that countries need to focus on building resilient energy supply chains and think about proven energy sources to ensure their operational forces are able to accomplish their mission at all times.
