The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has approved subsequent license renewal for NextEra Energy's Point Beach Nuclear Plant Units 1 and 2. This crucial approval extends their operating licenses through 2050 and 2053, respectively, ensuring the plant's continued operation for three more decades.
This milestone ensures that Wisconsin's only remaining nuclear plant will continue to provide safe, reliable, and low-cost energy for generations to come. Brian Bolster, NextEra Energy Resources president and CEO, affirmed that Point Beach will remain an integral part of Wisconsin's energy future and a vital contributor to the state and local economies.
Point Beach has been a cornerstone of Wisconsin's energy infrastructure since beginning commercial operations in 1970 for Unit 1 and 1973 for Unit 2. This license renewal follows a rigorous multi-year application process, demonstrating the plant's adherence to regulatory expectations.
