Carolinas' nuclear cluster.

Carolinians are world leaders in the design, construction and supply of electricity. Our states are home to leading power generating companies and major energy engineering companies. The Carolinas supply more than I I% of the nation's nuclear energy. Our two states have a strong nuclear supply chain and we continuously strengthen that supply chain. We do that under the umbrella of a dynamic energy industry trade organization that builds teamwork across the two states: E (4) Carolinas.

What is an economic development cluster?

An economic development cluster strategy builds on a foundation of comparative advantages. Well-run clusters spur corporate and educational innovation.
