Problem

A European utility needed to frame an outline strategy for a delivery model supporting a fleet of approximately 15 SMR units, and to evaluate a spectrum of SMR technology vendors from a standing start.

Intervention

We engaged at a very early programme stage, providing expert advice and staffing augmentation through initial vendor discussions, and led the structuring and development of a comprehensive technical evaluation.

Outcomes

  • A comprehensive technical evaluation delivered across engineering and technical maturity, licensing and safety case, organisational capability and capacity, supply chain arrangements and project delivery risk
  • An outline strategy framed for the establishment of a delivery model supporting a fleet of approximately 15 SMR units
  • Power Purchase Agreement models evolved with both the national government and the EU
