The company added that it completed a pre-feasibility study within its franchise area for the potential installation of a micromodular reactor and fully ceramic micro-encapsulated nuclear fuel technologies.

Meralco targets to proceed with the full feasibility study in cooperation with US-based Ultra Safe Nuclear Corporation.

“This is part of the Company’s commitment to adopt next-generation clean technologies and is in line with the Department of Energy’s goal of incorporating at least 1,200 MW of nuclear energy in the energy mix by the year 2032,” it added.
