WiN Finance
WiN Finance Group of Expertise is a gender inclusive, collaborative network which brings together and shares financing knowledge and resources across the entire civil nuclear lifecycle, through in-person and online events.
Finance needs are considered from technology innovation and project development, to commissioning, operations and decommissioning, including fuel sourcing, storage, and recycling.
WiN Finance seeks to address the challenges associated with securing competitive financing for land-based and offshore nuclear plants: from gigawatt scale to small, advanced and micro modular reactors, across fission and fusion.
Powering and decarbonizing AI infrastructure and energy intensive industries with nuclear are key WiN Finance ambitions. Additionally, to advocate the multidisciplinary uses of nuclear energy, WiN Finance collaborates across WiNGlobal technical chapters to enable investment beyond electricity generation, including harnessing isotopes for agriculture and medicine, hydrogen and sustainable fuel production, district heating or cooling, and transportation.
Mission
WiN Finance champions female expertise whilst promoting gender equity and seeks to be a source of information and launchpad for innovative financing solutions shared by financiers and non-financiers.

Why WiN Finance?

However, there are several features specific to nuclear projects that present unique considerations for investors, including technical complexity, political and regulatory risks, liabilities, and high fixed to variable cost ratios.” – World Nuclear Association.
