The United States is set to lend $4.2 billion to energy company Vistra to boost its nuclear power output, according to a source cited by CNBC.
The report said US Energy Secretary Chris Wright is expected to announce the loan at Vistra's nuclear plant along Lake Erie in Ohio. The cited source did not specify further details on the loan's terms, repayment structure, or which federal program would administer it.
The move would come amid broader US government and industry interest in expanding nuclear power capacity, driven in part by rising electricity demand linked to data centers and other energy-intensive industries.
Vistra is one of the largest power generation companies in the United States, operating a mix of nuclear, natural gas and other generation assets across multiple states.
CNBC's report, as cited, did not include an official statement from Vistra or the Department of Energy confirming the loan ahead of the planned announcement.
