ULC-Energy has signed a memorandum of understanding with U.S. based Constellation to support the deployment of Rolls-Royce Small Modular Reactor (SMR) power stations in the Netherlands.

Constellation and ULC-Energy intend to join forces to accelerate the Netherlands’ transition to a clean, affordable, and reliable energy system by deploying a fleet of Rolls-Royce small modular reactors in the Netherlands.


ULC-Energy is a nuclear project development company focused specifically on small

modular reactors. Constellation is the largest producer of carbon-free energy in the U.S. and operates 21 commercial nuclear reactors at 12 nuclear sites. The memorandum of understanding contemplates that ULC-Energy and Constellation will work together in the development of SMRs in the Netherlands . Constellation is a minority shareholder in Rolls-Royce SMR Limited.


Ralph Hunter, President of Constellation Generation Development LLC, said:

“Constellation is committed to a carbon-free future and has for many years supported nuclear developers in the United States and internationally. The Constellation Nuclear Management Model is widely regarded within the industry as a benchmark for world-class nuclear power operations, and we are excited with the opportunity to work with both ULC-Energy and Rolls-Royce SMR to ensure the safe and reliable development and operation of Rolls-Royce SMRs in the Netherlands.”

“Constellation will bring deep operational experience to ULC-Energy allowing ULC-Energy to deliver a complete offering to its stakeholders in the Netherlands. Having worked closely with Constellation, and its predecessor Exelon Generation since 2005, I am confident that our cooperation will be fruitful.” said Dirk Rabelink, Managing Director of ULC-Energy.
