Dominion Energy, DTE Energy, WEC Energy Group, Public Service Enterprise Group and Entergy Corp. are among the utilities positioned to benefit, according to Capstone.

The loans will support the construction of five projects that each host two big nuclear reactors.

The DOE plans $17.5 billion in low-interest loans for Westinghouse AP1000 nuclear reactors, targeting ten new units as part of an $80 billion partnership.

The new nuclear funding will specifically finance 10 large reactors developed by both utilities and energy companies.
