Energy Secretary Chris Wright said Michigan’s 800-MW Palisades plant could be running again before year-end, but Holtec International has not publicly set a restart date.
Energy Secretary Chris Wright said the 800-MW Palisades nuclear plant in Michigan would be back running before year-end, possibly as early as Nov. 30. The plant has been closed since 2022.
Holtec International, which is managing the restart, has not publicly committed to a date. The uncertainty follows a recent jobsite mishap and a federal safety culture warning.
For AEC teams working at industrial and energy sites, the restart timeline remains contingent on the plant operator’s public commitment and regulators’ safety concerns. That leaves near-term scheduling tied to conditions at the site rather than a fixed completion date.
