Wisconsin Public Service Commission to Hold Hearing on Kewaunee Plant Sale

摘要

Members of the public should get an opportunity next month to weigh in on the sale of a Wisconsin nuclear power plant to a decommissioning company, the state’s public service panel said this week. It’s the next major public forum for a sale that was shaping up to be an open-and-shut deal until New York-based decommissioning company NorthStar muscled its way into the proceedings. WPSC permitted NorthStar to intervene in its review of the Kewaunee sale in September, after the company argued that it could decommission the Carlton, Wisc., plant for around $500 million — a significantly lower price point than EnergySolutions’ projected $724 million.
