Duke Energy Gets 20-Year Extension for Nuclear Plant

Dow Jones04-24

By Kelly Cloonan

Duke Energy received a renewed operating license from regulators for its nuclear plant in South Carolina for an additional 20 years, extending the plant's operations until 2050.

The energy holding company said Thursday the extension, granted by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, is for its Robinson Nuclear Plant in Hartsville. The plant provides 759 megawatts of electricity, powering nearly 570,000 homes, the company said.

Robinson is the second Duke Energy nuclear facility to receive approval for subsequent license renewal, following Oconee Nuclear Station in 2025. The company said it plans to seek subsequent license renewal for all 11 operating units across its nuclear portfolio.
