The owner of the Kewaunee Power Station, which has been decommissioned, announced intentions to resume nuclear power generation at the facility. The company is currently evaluating the necessary steps to restore operations and meet regulatory requirements.
Efforts are focused on assessing the site’s condition and exploring potential upgrades to support safe and efficient energy production. No specific timeline for reopening has been provided.
**Why this matters**
Reactivating the Kewaunee Power Station could contribute to local energy supply and support low-carbon power generation. The decision to restart a previously closed nuclear plant involves regulatory scrutiny and community considerations, reflecting broader discussions about the role of nuclear energy in meeting future energy needs.
