Braun signed a Letter of Intent with Eli Lilly and Company to collaborate on a future pathway for nuclear energy solutions in Indiana, including small modular reactors and other advanced nuclear technologies. A major component of Gov. Mike Braun’s energy affordability agenda for Hoosier families is bringing new power supply to the grid, including nuclear energy. Gov. Braun’s vision is to make Indiana the premier location to invest and build new nuclear energy, because when we produce more energy, prices for Hoosier households come down. “Indiana is leading on nuclear power, because more energy means lower energy prices for Hoosier families. Today, I'm proud to enter into this partnership with Lilly to explore how we can collaborate on making Indiana the nation’s nuclear energy leader,” said Braun. "For 150 years, Lilly has grown alongside Indiana. Advanced nuclear technology represents the kind of bold, clean energy solution our state needs to power the next generation of innovation, and it directly supports Lilly’s own commitment to reduce our environmental footprint. We're proud to partner with the state to help make it a reality,” said Lilly Chair and CEO Dave Ricks. The purpose of the Letter of Intent between Lilly and the State of Indiana is to establish a framework for collaboration to: Explore and evaluate the technical, economic, regulatory, and environmental feasibility of nuclear energy solutions in Indiana. Consider potential structures for future procurement and deployment, including potential public private approaches, ownership and operating concepts, and power purchase arrangements. Support long-term energy reliability, resilience, economic development, industrial growth, workforce development, and emissions reduction goals in Indiana.
