ETNA, PA, October 24, 2023 – In the latest win for Pennsylvania’s clean energy sector, Governor Josh Shapiro joined Westinghouse to announce that the Pittsburgh-based company will further develop the eVinciTM microreactor in Allegheny County. As part of its project, the company will invest at least $18 million and create more than 40 new high-paying jobs to develop the transportable nuclear battery technology, which will provide clean energy for a variety of applications, including off-grid communities, remote mining, defense facilities, and data centers.
Westinghouse signed a lease for the 87,420-squarefoot building at 51 Bridge Street in Etna borough to create a technology accelerator that will support commercialization of the microreactor. In addition to advancing the technology being developed for the eVinciTM microreactor, Westinghouse will also manufacture certain components at this facility that do not involve any nuclear materials. These new manufacturing jobs will be created within the next three years.
Since January, Governor Shapiro has announced over $1 billion in new private sector investment in Pennsylvania as a direct result of his Administration’s work.
“Today’s announcement is just the latest in a long line of Westinghouse innovations – each one a result of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvanian’s legacy as an energy leader,” said Governor Josh Shapiro. “I believe Pennsylvania should play a central role in efforts to connect the dots and invest in clean sources of energy, and that’s why my administration’s energy policy ensures we have a diverse and reliable portfolio of energy resources that fosters innovation, protects our communities and our planet, and creates jobs. Together, we can usher in a new chapter of innovation and energy leadership here in Pennsylvania.”

Daley offered to such unwelcome questions.
