Jul 24 2024
NextEra Energy is considering restarting a nuclear plant in Iowa as demand for carbon-free energy grows amid a historic surge in electricity consumption.
The Duane Arnold Energy Center in Palo, Iowa ceased operations in 2020 after 45 years of service. NextEra CEO John Ketchum said Wednesday a thorough review of the risks is needed to see if restarting the reactor is feasible.
