When Finalized, Loan Will Finance the Restoration and Resumption of 800-MW Electric Nuclear Generating Station in Covert Township, Michigan—Supporting 600 Good-Paying, High-Quality Jobs While Slashing Planet-Warming Emissions, the U.S. Department of Energy through its Loan Programs Office today announced the offer of a conditional commitment of up to $1.
“Today, Holtec has secured a $1.5 billion conditional commitment for a loan from the U.S. Department of Energy to reopen the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant, protecting 600 good-paying, high-skill jobs and clean, reliable power for 800,000 homes,” said“Once open, Palisades will be the first successfully restarted nuclear power plant in American history, driving $363 million of regional economic impact and helping Michigan lead the future of clean energy.
The project is anticipated to avoid 4.47 million tons of CO2 emissions per year for a total of 111 million tons of CO2 emissions during the projected 25 years of operations—an amount roughly equivalent to the annual emissions of removing more than 970,000 gasoline-powered cars from the road.
Innovative decarbonization technologies—including clean firm power like nuclear energy—will play a critical role in meeting President Biden’s goals of a 100% clean electric grid by 2035 and a net zero emissions economy by 2050. As highlighted in DOE’s Pathways to Commercial Liftoff, nuclear energy will become an increasingly important source of safe, reliable, and flexible baseload power as the nation decarbonizes its energy systems. In fact, U.S.
