Dairyland EVP & COO Ben Porath participated in a Grid Forward Chats podcast, Can Small Nuclear Play a Big Role on the Grid? The podcast focuses specifically on the potential of small modular reactors (SMRs) to be a game changer during the clean energy transition. Porath was joined during the podcast by NuScale Power's EVP Clayton Scott. Podcast description: The two discuss the promise of modular nuclear power, how these systems fit into a changing energy mix, cost, safety, grid resiliency, system flexibility and more. Will SMRs play a significant role on the grid in the next 10 years? 

Dairyland and NuScale Power signed an agreement in 2022 for Dairyland to evaluate the potential deployment of NuScale’s SMR technology as a safe, reliable and carbon-free energy solution.

Grid Forward (Portland, Ore.) is a regional, member-based non-profit organization that brings together utilities, solution providers, government agencies, regulators, advocates and others to work together on making grid modernization a reality.
