In a bold move reshaping America’s energy future, ENTRA1 Energy has stepped in as the driving force behind American next generation nuclear technologies with its flagship debut in commercializing NuScale’s small modular reactor (SMR) technology.
ENTRA1 Energy is an American energy production and investment platform focused on developing, financing and owning natural gas and nuclear power generation plants backed by a solid team of investors and executives with top-tier global investment, special situations management, and energy sector experience.
ENTRA1 Energy was the first mover to begin supporting the commercialization of SMRs, taking a significant high risk bet on this space and on NuScale in its nascent years. By investing in and securing the exclusive global rights to NuScale’s SMR technology, ENTRA1 is now positioned as the lead innovation powerhouse for American SMR deployment and global prowess at a time when the world is desperate for reliable, affordable, carbon-free power.
Earlier this year, in May 2025, NuScale received the distinction of being the only American SMR approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for its 77 MW small modular reactor – regulatory, testing and certification process took approximately eight years to complete.
From Promise to Pivot
NuScale has made history becoming the first SMR technology to earn U.S. NRC approval, touting factory-built, modular reactors that promised clean energy, lower costs, and shorter build times. However, momentum slowed after the collapse of its Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems (UAMPS) project in 2022 rattling confidence as rising costs and political headwinds drove away partners and investors. NuScale restructured and several executive level positions (including CFO, GC and others) were replaced.
ENTRA1 was brought in to support NuScale’s maturation and spur growth, acquiring exclusive global rights to commercialize NuScale’s SMR technology. With strong U.S. management and international reach, ENTRA1 has breathed new life into NuScale, lifting its market cap from less than $1 billion to $10 billion.
Powering America
Unlike traditional nuclear companies that only sell reactors, ENTRA1’s model is to deliver full-service power plants. At the heart of the plan is NuScale’s 77 MW module—scalable in 12-unit increments up to 924 MW (1 GW) of steady, around-the-clock baseload power. With the NRC’s full certification in hand, ENTRA1 is leapfrogging the regulatory bottlenecks that previously slowed progress.
ENTRA1 isn’t just a technology player—it’s an independent American power producer that sells power directly into the marketplace. That makes its mission crystal clear: build plants, generate power, and fuel America’s grids and future.
Meeting the AI Energy Crunch Head-On
Artificial Intelligence is rewriting the energy equation. The promise of AI cannot be realized without solving the energy crunch in the United States. Industry experts warn electricity demand could double by 2030, with tech giants like Microsoft, Oracle, Google, META, and AWS all exploring nuclear options to power their massive data centers.
Built for the U.S. – Ready for the World
Many nuclear power plant initiatives never make it off the drawing board, however the ENTRA1 Energy team has been at it for a major part of the last decade in a methodical and stealth manner – building resources, know-how, and leadership to actually pioneer American SMR power plants from inception to operation. With its focus on powering America’s critical infrastructure—especially across the southern U.S., where energy demand is booming. ENTRA1 is not just bringing SMRs back into focus, it’s empowering and positioning them as the cornerstone of America’s new nuclear renaissance, fueling growth at home and securing leadership abroad.
