Clay Williams is a Senior Director at X-energy, a leading advanced reactor and fuel developer. Coming from the commercial and business-development side, Clay specializes in the financing of large nuclear projects and how developers and their customers fund new build together. With a background spanning mechanical engineering and business, he focuses on explaining project financing to customers and structuring deals that make first-of-a-kind projects bankable. Clay brings a developer’s perspective on assembling the capital and partnerships that turn nuclear projects into reality.
Seminars
- Building the capital stack across developer, owner, off-taker and government
- Structuring the deal so the developer and its customer finance the project together, not in isolation
- Allocating commercial risk so the first order gets signed and the next one follows
Practical Takeaway: Leave knowing how the developer-customer financing deal actually comes together on a first build, and how to structure it so it repeats.
