January 13, 2025

The next generation of energy technologies is coming online, delivering energy that is more affordable, reliable and cleaner than ever before. But what happens to the older generation of power plants as they reach the end of their operational lives? What if those closures directly affected your livelihood — or the economy of your town? This is the challenge facing the power industry today. Nearly a quarter of coal plants in the U.S. are scheduled to be shuttered by 2029, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Microsoft bets on artificial intelligence to power a nuclear resurgence - and more AI

Lee Harris, Financial Times

|

November 27, 2024

Recent article by Lee Harris in the Financial Times highlights Microsoft's partnership with Terra Praxis to develop an AI tool designed to streamline nuclear site permits, potentially reducing costs and timelines significantly. This innovative AI utilizes existing regulatory documents to generate new license applications, which could cut the time for drafting early site permit applications from years to just hours or days. At Terra Praxis, we see this solution as a powerful way to address challenges such as AI's electricity demands, accelerating clean energy adoption, and repurposing fossil fuel infrastructure. Notably, the tool is capable of operating outside the US and has been tested in various languages and regulatory contexts.
