The Remulon Modular Nuclear Reactor (RMNR) was completed in Port Extranjero in [[2027]] to make the entire port energy self-sufficient. The Remulon is a {{wp|Generation_IV_reactor#Sodium-cooled_fast_reactor_(SFR)|Gen IV Sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR)}} that produces up to 125MW. The Port consumes, approximately 1,500,000 MWh annually, the delta of 495,000MWh is supplied via transmission lines from [[Canespa]]. During the construction phase of the Remulon reactor, [[List of powerships of the Navy of Burgundie#Classes|la Titanique]], a [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] [[Navy of Burgundie|naval]] {{wp|powership}} was brought in to serve as a temporary powerplant to both test the concept of a nuclear powerplant on the premise of the port grounds and to also develop and test grid load capacity and to develop new grid requirements. [[List of powerships of the Navy of Burgundie#Classes|La Titanique]] provided a constant 65MW from [[2018]]-[[2027]] when it was slowly turned off as the new Remulon reactor was warmed up, so as not to overload the grid and to also maintain port operations, unimpeded. | The Remulon Modular Nuclear Reactor (RMNR) was completed in Port Extranjero in [[2027]] to make the entire port energy self-sufficient.

In the 2030s the Remulon is expected to get an additional module that will increase its output to 156MW, far exceeding the needs of the port. It is planned to sell the excess energy to the [[Canespa]]n electrical grid. The powerplant has a direct transmission line to two tug stations, where its power is used to power the fleet of 12 {{wp|Robert Allan Ltd.|RApide 2000-e battery electric pushboats}} operated by the port since [[2023]]. | In the 2030s the Remulon is expected to get an additional module that will increase its output to 156MW, far exceeding the needs of the port.

Prior to the Remulon Reactor project the port was mostly powered through power from [[Canespa]] as well as a small natural gas plant that was opened in [[1984]]. Prior to that a coal plant powered critical facilities on the port from its opening until the natural gas plant opened in the 80s. | Prior to the Remulon Reactor project the port was mostly powered through power from [[Canespa]] as well as a small natural gas plant that was opened in [[1984]].
