EnerCom, Inc., a leading energy consulting and strategic communications firm, has officially announced a comprehensive lineup of nuclear energy companies slated to make a presentation on the final day of 2025 EnerCom Denver Conference i.e. 20 August.
According to certain, this particular event is understood to be the largest independent energy investment conference in all of U.S., designed to connect capital with traditional and emerging energy companies from around the world.
Talk about the companies set to take a part in the 2025 edition, we begin from Oklo, an organization which is best known for deploying sodium fast reactors, through recycled nuclear waste and down blended fissionable material, or High-Assay, Low-Enriched Uranium fuel, to generate electricity. The company’s commercial Aurora power plant is markedly engineered to produce 75 megawatts.
Oklo even has a DOE site permit for its first reactor at the Idaho National Labs with plans for commercial operation by 2028. In case that wasn’t enough, the company’s acquisition of Atomic Alchemy also opens up an opportunity for it to produce radioisotopes critical, something which can come in handy when the agenda is to facilitate medical and defense applications.
Next up, we have Energy Fuels. Energy Fuels is essentially a global leader in critical minerals with a 45-year legacy in U.S. uranium mining and production. The company operates, at the moment, a total of three active U.S. mines, including the high-grade Arizona Pinyon Plain mine,. For instance, it processes ore at its White Mesa Mill in Utah, which is the only operational conventional uranium mill in the country.
The Mill also handles vanadium and is exploring medical isotope extraction for cancer treatment.
Energy Fuels has further confirmed its operation of processing both light and heavy rare earth elements from U.S.-sourced monazite. On top of that, it is also developing three global heavy mineral sand mines to produce up to 60,000 tonnes of rare earth feedstock as a by-product of titanium and zircon mining.
The third company in line would be Deep Isolation, the first ever player to commercialize nuclear waste disposal in deep boreholes, The company currently offers tailored solutions to help countries manage and dispose of waste inventories.
It also has a staggering 87 patents, thus forming a technological ecosystem which leverages proven drilling methods to safely isolate waste underground in horizontal, vertical, or slanted boreholes. Deep Isolation’s Universal Canister System (UCS), developed through a three-year ARPA-E-funded project, markedly treads up a long distance to support integrated management of spent fuel and high-level waste from advanced reactors across storage, transport, and disposal.
Another organization worth a mention here would be Deep Fission, who has made a name for itself by applying state-of-the-art borehole technology to site Small Modular Reactors one mile underground, an approach which has shown to strengthen safety, minimize construction and operating surface impacts, as well as cut costs.
Alongside that, Deep Fission already provides electricity at an estimated 5-7 cents/kWh, but having said so, its goal is to deliver 2 GW of power for AI-ready data centers by 2029. In that regard, the company is in the pre-licensing stage with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Rounding up the lineup would ne Solestiss, an organization providing strategic advisory services to help clients navigate the evolving energy landscape, supporting decision-making across strategy, market positioning, and operations.
From a more specific standpoint, the company’s operation is largely concerned with accelerating access to baseload power, and at the same time, mitigating budget risks by leveraging nuclear and energy infrastructure expertise and natural gas solutions to drive project success.
Turning our attention towards EnerCom conference, it was conceived as a unique opportunity for participants to network and listen to senior management teams from leading companies across the energy value chain. This involves updating investors on their operational and financial strategies, along with a lot more..
