Uranium Energy Corp. (NYSE American: UEC) announced that its subsidiary, UEC US Uranium LLC, has entered into definitive long-term sales agreements with two U.S. nuclear utilities for a combined 1.1 million pounds of uranium concentrates (U3O8). The contracts provide for annual deliveries of 100,000 pounds under each agreement, with one running from 2027 through 2032 and the other from 2028 through 2032. All deliveries will be priced at prevailing spot market prices, maintaining the company’s unhedged exposure to future uranium prices.
The agreements come as UEC continues discussions with additional U.S. and international utilities amid growing demand for domestic uranium. The company also highlighted potential government demand, including the National Nuclear Security Administration’s projected requirement for 4 million pounds annually of U.S.-origin uranium and the U.S. Army’s plans to deploy more than 20 microreactors. UEC said its operations in Texas and Wyoming position it to support both utility and national security requirements. For further details, see the full press release at https://ibn.fm/4FsHP.
The significance of these agreements extends beyond the immediate revenue for UEC. By locking in long-term supply contracts with U.S. utilities, the company is helping to secure a domestic fuel supply chain for nuclear power, which is increasingly viewed as a critical component of the nation’s energy security and decarbonization efforts. The unhedged pricing structure means UEC retains full exposure to uranium market fundamentals, which could be advantageous if spot prices rise amid tightening supply and growing demand.
Uranium Energy Corp. describes itself as America’s largest and fastest growing uranium company, controlling the largest uranium resource base and the most licensed production capacity in the United States, totaling approximately 12 million pounds per year across its Wyoming and South Texas platforms. In Canada, the company controls one of the most extensive land and resource portfolios in the Athabasca Basin, anchored by the Roughrider Project in Saskatchewan. Through its wholly owned subsidiary, United States Uranium Refining & Conversion Corp, UEC is pursuing domestic refining and conversion capabilities to further strengthen the U.S. nuclear fuel supply chain. The company maintains a 100% unhedged uranium strategy, providing full exposure to uranium market fundamentals. More information about UEC is available through its newsroom at https://ibn.fm/UEC.

As the U.S. seeks to reduce reliance on foreign uranium and expand nuclear energy, UEC’s production capacity and unhedged strategy position it as a key player in the domestic fuel cycle. The company’s ability to secure these agreements may also encourage other utilities to pursue long-term contracts, further supporting uranium prices and investment in domestic production.
