The US plans to reopen the Palisades nuclear power plant, potentially marking a new era for US nuclear power and a faster way to increase clean energy capacity.
The U.S. Palisades Power Plant could become the first nuclear plant to reopen in the U.S. after shutting down, potentially signaling a new era for U.S. nuclear power . As the U.S. government supports a new wave of nuclear reactor development, in support of a green transition, the reopening of existing plants could help the country develop its nuclear power capacity more rapidly.
The private owner of the Palisades, Holtec International, hopes to get the plant up and running again by the end of 2025, with $1.5 billion in loans from the Department of Energy and $300 million in grants from the state of Michigan supporting the move. This reflects a shift in public policy in the U.S. in favor of nuclear power. Several assessments of the risks associated with nuclear power production in recent years suggest that it is one of the safest forms of energy.
