Centrica is enhancing its nuclear energy strategy through a $10 billion partnership with X Energy to build the UK's first advanced modular reactors in Hartlepool. This initiative aims to deploy 12 reactors capable of powering 1.5 million homes, with potential expansion to 6 GW nationwide.

Centrica's investment follows its $1.3 billion stake in the Sizewell C project. The project requires government support through a construction levy, and while promising for energy security, it raises questions about long-term viability amid market fluctuations.
