Lessons Learned From Kewaunee's Closing

Lessons Learned From Kewaunee's Closing


“How can you have a top performing plant and still see it being shut down?”
This is a question that many people are still asking a year after the 556-MW Kewaunee nuclear plant in Wisconsin shut down for good. Kewaunee has long been considered a well-run power plant, one that rarely had operational or regulatory issues. Yet, it still permanently closed on May 7, 2013 after 39 years of operation. It wasn’t regulations or public opposition that shut it down, but economics.
