The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Exelon Corporation for the demonstration of an end-to-end integrated grid-scale carbon-free hydrogen production, storage, and utilization plant at a nuclear generating facility. The project would also evaluate market opportunities and regulatory requirements related to the participation of integrated hydrogen production and nuclear plant facilities in organized power markets, by demonstrating dynamic control and operation of the electrolyzer and assessing the economics of dynamic participation combined with the revenue streams from hydrogen production. The project would be completed over two Budget Periods (BPs), with a Go/No-Go Decision Point in between each BP. This NEPA review is for BP1 only. Once additional details of project location, engineering, and design are completed, another NEPA review will be required to assess potential impacts associated BP2 activities of the project.
