Why These Energy Stocks are Gaining This Week

In this article, we are going to discuss the energy stocks that are gaining this week.

With nuclear back in the spotlight as a leading candidate to power the AI boom, the United States and the United Kingdom signed a landmark agreement this week focused on accelerating the development of nuclear power in both countries. Known as the Atlantic Partnership for Advanced Nuclear Energy, the multi-billion-dollar pact is expected to halve the time required to gain regulatory approval for nuclear projects from up to four years to two.

The deal, which focuses on small modular reactors (SMRs) and advanced modular reactors (AMRs), presents American companies with the opportunity to develop reactors and power-intensive infrastructure abroad, in addition to boosting exports. It is estimated that the overall program could deliver at least £40 billion ($54.4 billion) in economic value.
