Diablo Canyon unit 2 officially entered extended operations on 27 August, utility PG&E has announced. In 2016, with a decline in electric customers and state prioritisation of solar and wind energy, PG&E had agreed with environmental and labour groups that the two-unit plant would close by August this year. But after statewide rotating outages during a heat wave in 2020 and increased demand projections, California lawmakers directed the San Luis Obispo County power plant to keep running until 2030. Unit 1 began extended operations in November 2024.
