# Westinghouse Electric Company **Westinghouse Electric Company** is the American nuclear-reactor vendor behind the AP1000 design. Owned since 2023 by a consortium of **Brookfield Asset Management** and **Cameco Corporation**, it emerged from bankruptcy in 2018 and is now the centerpiece of the administration's nuclear expansion. In **October 2025** the government signed an **$80 billion** arrangement with Westinghouse, Brookfield, and Cameco to begin construction on AP1000 reactors by 2030. Under the agreement the administration committed to help with financing, land acquisition, permitting, and regulatory friction. It backstops a May 2025 executive order targeting expansion of U.S. nuclear capacity from roughly 100 GW to 400 GW by 2050. > [!caution] Unverified: the government's economic participation > Trackers count this arrangement as **quasi-equity** on the [[Government Equity Stakes Roster]], but the specific form and size of any federal profit or ownership interest is not well documented in public sources. Do not assert a percentage until a primary document supports one. This is a stub — expand with the Brookfield/Cameco ownership structure, the AP1000 build history at Vogtle, and the terms of the federal participation. ## See Also - [[Government Equity Stakes Roster]] - [[American State Capitalism]]
