BREAKING: Calpine has secured a Texas Energy Fund (TEF) Loan for our new Pin Oak Creek Energy Center in Freestone County, TX!

We appreciate @GregAbbott_TX and the Texas Legislature for their support in our mission to provide reliable and affordable power to Texas, and we look forward to continued work with the Freestone community. https://t.co/nNd8lLLhcq

[Texas Freedom Alliance @TXFreeAlliance]

Advanced nuclear energy is one of the biggest priorities for the federal government, and Texas is leading the way.

With the leadership of Rep. @CodyHarrisTX, the Legislature passed HB 14, creating the Texas Advanced Nuclear Energy Office and the Texas Advanced Nuclear Deployment Act.

This law provides up to $350 million in support for advanced reactor projects, streamlines permitting, and coordinates strategy across industry, regulators, and universities. It strengthens our grid, lowers emissions, creates high-wage jobs, and positions Texas as the nation’s leader in next-generation nuclear power.

With HB 14, Texas proved we’re ready to lead on America’s energy future.
