New Nuclear — Small Modular Reactors (SMRs)
Structuring the commercial and financial foundations for first-of-a-kind nuclear deployment.
Small modular reactors (SMRs) are being developed to enable a more standardised approach to the delivery of new nuclear capacity, combining factory-based manufacture with modular transport, site assembly and commissioning.
Realising this potential requires more than proven technology. First-of-a-kind projects must establish credible investment and revenue models, allocate risk appropriately, secure bankable commercial arrangements and create a financing structure capable of attracting the capital required for delivery.
Apta Ventures’ Principal is leading the financial and commercial structuring of a flagship pathfinder project. The work brings together the investment and revenue model, financing strategy, delivery structures and risk allocation, alongside the negotiation of major contracts with international technology and delivery partners.
The assignment sits at the intersection of project development, commercial strategy and strategic capital — addressing the financial, commercial and delivery challenges of establishing a new model for nuclear deployment.
