Last Energy

Factory-built PWR microreactors sold through long-term power agreements

NuclearEnergy
What they build

The product

The PWR-20, a factory-built 20 MWe pressurized-water microreactor plant using standard low-enriched uranium, and the PWR-5 pilot, a reduced-output design with the same physical dimensions and reactor geometry for demonstration at Texas A&M-RELLIS. Last Energy packages design, financing, construction, ownership and operation for behind-the-meter customers.

Why it matters

The thesis

Last Energy is pursuing conventional PWR physics in a compact, repeatable product and selling output rather than reactors. Its PWR-5 pilot has DOE approval of its Preliminary Documented Safety Analysis, creating a U.S. demonstration path alongside PWR-20 licensing and customer projects in the United Kingdom and Europe.

Operating model

How it runs

Last Energy acts as a vertically integrated behind-the-meter independent power producer: it designs, finances, builds, owns, and operates modular PWR-20 plants at or near customer sites, so customers do not have to develop, finance, or run the nuclear asset.

Revenue model

How it earns

It sells electricity under long-term, fixed-price power purchase agreements. Public materials describe no-upfront-capital nuclear-as-a-service for customers; customer-specific contract economics are undisclosed.

Strategic edge

Why it wins

Its 20 MWe plant combines established pressurized-water-reactor technology and standard low-enriched uranium with factory-built modules, compact siting, and repeatable deployment in 20 MWe increments, aiming to reduce project-delivery and financing risk.
