Workshop hints at robust support for nuclear expansion in Arizona
Palo Verde, with three reactors and a combined capacity of about 4,000 MWe, is the only nuclear power plant in Arizona. But that could very well change soon if state officials have their way.
Much like other states in the West, Arizona believes nuclear energy is a vital component of the state’s future energy portfolio. At a special meeting of the Arizona Corporation Commission on February 24, commissioners, officials, and others in attendance showed broad bipartisan support for expanding nuclear energy.
