About
Newcleo is a London and Paris-based nuclear technology company developing next-generation Lead-cooled Fast Reactors (LFR) designed to run on recycled nuclear waste as fuel. Founded in 2021 by Stefano Buono (former CERN physicist), Newcleo targets the dual problem of nuclear waste accumulation and clean energy scarcity by using minor actinides and plutonium separated from spent fuel as its primary fuel source. This approach simultaneously reduces the radiotoxicity and volume of nuclear waste stockpiles while generating zero-carbon electricity and industrial heat.

About
PPL Corporation is an Allentown, Pennsylvania-based regulated electric utility holding company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: PPL) as an S&P 500 Utilities component — delivering electricity and natural gas to approximately 3.5 million customers across Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and Rhode Island through four regulated utility subsidiaries: PPL Electric Utilities (Pennsylvania), Louisville Gas and Electric Company (Kentucky), Kentucky Utilities Company (Kentucky), and Rhode Island Energy (acquired from National Grid in 2022), through approximately 7,200 employees. PPL's most significant strategic development is its dramatically expanded capital investment plan: in 2025, the company announced a $20 billion infrastructure investment program from 2025 through 2028 — a 40% increase over its prior $14.3 billion capital plan — expected to generate 9.8% average annual rate base growth through 2028. The enhanced investment drives PPL's reaffirmed 6-8% annual EPS and dividend growth targets through at least 2028, making PPL one of the highest-growth profiles among large regulated utilities. CEO Vincent Sorgi has executed the transformation from PPL's former international utility operations (selling UK operations in 2011 and Talen Energy spinoff in 2015) to a pure-play US regulated utility focused on grid modernization and reliability improvement. The Rhode Island Energy acquisition (2022) added 770,000 electric and gas customers in a compact, densely populated state with above-average regulatory support for utility infrastructure investment.
