Westinghouse’s up to $17.5 Billion in Obligated Funds from the U.S. Department of Energy

June 23, 2026

On June 23, 2026, Westinghouse Electric Corporation (“Westinghouse”) announced its intention to partner with the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) Office of Energy Dominance Financing (“EDF”) under the American Nuclear Supply Chain Loans program. The program will enable investment in nuclear supply chains and accelerate deployment of new nuclear generation at scale in the United States. EDF has announced a conditional commitment (subject to Westinghouse, its owners and its partners satisfying certain conditions) of $17.5 billion in obligated funds to finance the purchase of long‑lead time items (“LLI”) for up to 10 Westinghouse AP1000® units, the only fully designed and licensed advanced commercial reactor operating in the United States today. Westinghouse will partner with up to five eligible utilities or energy companies to procure LLI for projects with two reactors each and has signed letters of intent with seven potential partners with identified sites. Cravath is representing Westinghouse in connection with the transaction.
