Nuclear energy key to 24x7 clean power for energy-intensive data centres: Piyush Goyal

New Delhi, 15 Dec (UNI) Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal emphasised on Monday that nuclear energy will play a pivotal role in ensuring a continuous supply of clean and reliable power, particularly for energy-intensive sectors like data centres.
During a media interaction, Goyal expressed strong support for the recently introduced nuclear energy bill, ‘The Shanti Bill’, which is currently under consideration in Parliament. He highlighted that the bill would propel India to new heights in nuclear energy development, making it an integral part of the country's renewable energy mix and helping meet the increasing power demand with a 24/7 supply.
"SHANTI Bill has been brought in, and it is currently before the Parliament, which will take India to new heights in terms of nuclear energy. It will encourage public and private players, besides public-private partnerships. It will also ensure small modular reactors are set up in large numbers in India, which will negate power cuts, raise renewable energy mix in overall power basket. Solar, wind, and nuclear combined will be able to meet power demand 24*7," Goyal said.
