Nevada’s growth runs on power. See the plan to supply it.
Join Nevada Policy and experts in nuclear energy, economics, and grid security for a day on how Nevada can power its future.
Data centers, factories, and new jobs are coming to Nevada, and every one of them runs on electricity. When demand climbs and supply doesn’t keep up, prices rise for every family and business in the state. The answer is more supply.
On November 15, Nevada Policy will present its plan to power Nevada’s growth with nuclear energy and put it in front of the experts who know this field best.
What Your Day Will Include:
- A clear plan. Hear Nevada Policy’s plan for nuclear energy in Nevada, from start to finish.
- Seasoned experts. Learn from expert panelists with decades of experience in reactors, spent fuel, workforce training, economics, and grid security.
- Real conversation. Bring your questions. We’ve set aside time for you to ask the panel directly.
- Eat and connect. Enjoy continental breakfast, lunch, and snacks with your ticket, plus time to connect with panelists and fellow attendees.
Who should attend: Business owners, builders, energy professionals, policymakers, and any Nevadan who wants reliable, affordable power.
