— 01 · FAST-TRACKED THERMAL
Gigawatt-scale power, on-site in 12 to 24 months.
The thermal phase is designed to be deployed within 12 to 24 months, using gas, diesel, HFO or dual-fuel generation depending on site requirements.

/ WHAT WE DELIVER
Threeproducts.Onecontinuousasset.
A single structure that powers your load from year one and carries it all the way to clean baseload, with no gap and no stranded capital.
— 02 · BRIDGE
A hybrid that protects your capital.
Assets co-locate with Pearl reactors through a thermal storage loop. The site dispatches continuously while the nuclear fleet scales. No rip-and-replace, no downtime, no stranded assets during the shift from thermal to nuclear.
— 03 · NUCLEAR
Factory-built Pearl SMRs.
From 2029, BridgePower Nuclear plans to phase in Pearl SMR modules, subject to customer agreements, site selection, regulatory approvals and project financing.
/ THE PROBLEM
Energy demand is up 50% by 2050. The grid isn’t ready. Neither is most of the SMR industry.
1,000GWe
The capacity gap
Over 1,000 GWe of new firm capacity needed across the western world by 2030. AI compute demand is doubling by 2028. Ten-year grid interconnection queues. Renewables are intermittent; diesel is $200/MWh.
$100B
Off-grid market
Hyperscaler compute and industrial loads are going off-grid at speed. The market for dispatchable, clean, co-located, behind-the-meter power exceeds $100B — and utilities can’t keep pace.
5–10YRS
The nuclear trifecta
Every modern SMR hits the same three walls: HALEU enrichment bottlenecks, heavy-forging supply chains, and stick-built EPC cost blowouts. Pearl is engineered to avoid all three.

/ Frequently asked
Frequently asked.
What is BridgePower Nuclear?
BridgePower Nuclear is a joint venture between USP&E and BAM Energy. It delivers immediate gigawatt-scale dispatchable power with a contracted path to factory-built nuclear, combining 25 years of dispatchable-power delivery across Africa and beyond with 20 years of small modular reactor engineering.
How fast can you put power on my site?
USP&E sizes a bankable, OEM-agnostic gas and engine power block from 15 GW of owned and controlled inventory, delivering around 1 GWe of dispatchable power on site in 12 to 24 months. It can be grid-tied or run fully behind the meter, and it is PPA-ready today.
When will the Pearl SMRs deliver power?
First Pearl modules are scheduled to go live in 2029, subject to customer agreements, site selection, regulatory approvals and project financing. Until then, USP&E’s power equipment carries the full load, so the site generates from year one and never waits on the nuclear timeline.
Is this bankable for project finance and DFIs?
Yes. USP&E structures documentation, warranties and performance guarantees for project finance, and brings a 25 year, 150-plus project operating record across 35 or more countries to support due diligence.
