As world leaders gathered near Durban, South Africa, for the #G20SouthAfrica Energy Transitions Working Group meeting, EPRI brought a unique perspective on global energy transitions. At the G20 Nuclear Energy Ministerial Conference, joined discussions on coal-to-nuclear transitions, highlighting: • Resource availability (water, land, transmission) • Reuse of existing infrastructure • Legacy environmental considerations (e.g., CCP monitoring) • Early community engagement & workforce development The @iaeaorg released Coal to Nuclear: Supporting a Clean Energy Transition ➡️ iaea.org/publications/15898/… featuring insights from EPRI’s Coal to Nuclear: A Practical Guide ➡️ epri.com/research/products/0… As we look ahead to the G20 Leaders’ Summit in November, continued collaboration will be key to delivering reliable, affordable & sustainable energy for all. #EnergyTransition #Collaboration #NuclearEnergy
