Holtec Palisades in Covert, Michigan, is blazing a trail never before experienced in the global nuclear power industry. This 800-megawatt facility, shut down in May 2022 with plans for decommissioning, is being prepared for a new life. Thanks to a groundswell of support from the State of Michigan and the US Department of Energy, Holtec International, the plant owner, plans to repower the facility.
Getting Palisades back online gives Michigan a clean, reliable, safe source of continued energy. It provides hundreds of jobs to the community, as well as extended economic benefits for the region.
