The Texas Nuclear Alliance is thrilled to announce the first-ever Texas Nuclear Summit, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at spearheading the advancement of nuclear energy within the Lone Star State and the world. With the belief that nuclear power is paramount to propelling Texas towards a future of clean, reliable energy generation, the Summit is poised to mark a significant milestone in the state’s interplay with the nuclear industry.
“The Summit will discuss how nuclear can help to address a multitude of issues facing the state of Texas, including the electrification of the Permian Basin, artificial intelligence compute, desalination and the staggering load growth forecasted by ERCOT, said Reed Clay, President of the Texas Nuclear Alliance.”
Scheduled to convene in Austin, TX, on November 18, the Texas Nuclear Summit will serve as a pivotal platform for industry leaders, policymakers, and advocates to delve into the transformative potential of nuclear energy ahead of the 2025 Legislative Session. Confirmed speakers so far include Texas Energy Reliability Council Chair Nim Kidd, Texas Water Development Board Chairwoman Brooke Paup, Public Utilities Commission of Texas Commissioner Jimmy Glotfelty, Texas Senator Charles Perry, and Texas State Representative Cody Harris, who serves at Vice Chair of the Texas Nuclear Caucus.
“The importance of nuclear energy to the state’s future energy needs and for the continuation of the Texas Miracle cannot be overstated,” Clay continued. “As the Energy Capital of the World, Texas has a unique opportunity to assert its leadership in nuclear innovation and development. The Texas Nuclear Summit will bring together the leaders of the nuclear industry’s resurgence in Texas.”

About the Texas Nuclear Alliance
The Texas Nuclear Alliance is the only industry association in Texas dedicated to the advancement of nuclear technology in the state. The Alliance was formed with a singular mission: to make Texas the Nuclear Capital of the World. Formed in 2022 in the aftermath of Winter Storm Uri, which revealed Texas’ overreliance on intermittent energy sources, the Alliance is based on the fundamental premise that if Texas and the world want low-carbon, reliable energy, it can no longer turn its back on nuclear energy. Nuclear is clean, safe, reliable and secure.
