Goldman Sachs Contact information (Name, Email, Phone): Salvador Pareja, Managing Director Please describe the action sought from the Office of the Secretary: Goldman Sachs recognizes the Secretary's focus on actionable solutions to address the dramatic increase in power generation requirements as artificial intelligence compute and data center development demands grow rapidly. We would like to meet with the Secretary to share our views on structuring alternatives to address stakeholder concerns for hyperscalers, utilities, developers and financial investors. Recognizing new nuclear development is of particular interest to solve for load demands from artificial intelligence compute and data center needs, we intend to specifically review our perspective on how best to bring forward the interested parties and review threshold requirements as we consider our understanding of the strategic priorities of each party involved. Given the duration of new nuclear development and concerns of cost overrun for unproven technologies, being thoughtful about how the government can support the formation of a partnership that can move effectively to implement a scaled solution is of particular focus for all stakeholders and we welcome the opportunity to share our perspective.

(If yes, please describe.) A key topic of this meeting will be new nuclear generation development. As a general matter this involves a diverse range of persons and interests including hyperscalers (e.g. Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Oracle), regulated utilities and their stakeholders including shareholders and rate payers, developers of new nuclear small modular reactor technologies (e.g. Terrapower, GE), data center developers and financial investors (both fixed income and equity) that support project development.

Utility / power sector primary focus as we consider how to effectively structure partnership to build new nuclear that benefits existing utility rate payers while providing for power demands of hyperscalers for data center development. Permitting time-line for nuclear siting for instance should be discussed as we consider implementation road map and the NRC's role in that process. If any gifts (e.g., meals or refreshments, mementos or tokens of appreciation, transportation, etc.) will be offered to the Secretary, please describe and provide their monetary value.
