Power and infrastructure

Power is the new site selection.

Reliable, affordable and scalable energy is the goal. HyperCity evaluates supply and delivery options around the needs of individual projects and their stages of development.

Project requirements guide the work

Power demand, reliability, cost and timing shape each project. HyperCity coordinates studies and development planning with West Memphis Utilities and the relevant project participants.

Utility service

Assess service requirements and available pathways with West Memphis Utilities through the applicable review process.

Generation and fuel

Evaluate generation options alongside fuel availability, operating needs, permitting and commercial requirements.

Grid and delivery

Plan the connections, power lines, switching equipment and substations that a project may require.

Storage

Consider storage where it can support reliability and the operating needs of a project.

Longer-horizon technologies

Evaluate options including advanced nuclear where technically and commercially appropriate, subject to the required studies and approvals.

These are areas of development work, not a fixed construction sequence. No particular technology, capacity, service date or commercial arrangement is committed by this description.

Supply and delivery considered together

A generation option must work with the infrastructure that delivers power. Each project requires engineering, site review and coordination with the responsible utility and authorities.

Supply

Generation options

Compare technologies against the project’s demand, operating needs, cost and environmental requirements.

Connections

Grid infrastructure

Determine the lines, switching equipment and connections needed to deliver service.

Reliability

Operating requirements

Assess outages, maintenance, backup and storage needs as part of the project design.

Delivery

Customer facilities

Develop substation, metering and protection requirements with the customer and utility.

Configuration and service remain subject to studies, site control, permits, approvals, final agreements, financing and construction.
