Palisades nuclear relaunch gets more subsidies in Michigan — and more backlash
September 9, 2024
The Palisades Nuclear power plant restart effort has secured another round of public subsidies, with two rural electric cooperatives set to receive hundreds of millions of dollars to buy power from the facility.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced Thursday that Michigan-based Wolverine Power Cooperative and Indiana-based Hoosier Energy will each receive awards from the Empowering Rural America program, a $9.7 billion Inflation Reduction Act fund designed to help rural electric cooperatives transition to clean energy.
