📍Unleashing American nuclear energy in Michigan:

“In addition to the added power to the grid, [the Palisades Plant] alone will account for about 650 jobs here.”

Today, @SecretaryWright visited the Palisades Nuclear Plant.

This facility will become the first decommissioned nuclear power plant in U.S. history to restart operations thanks to @POTUS — lowering energy costs and supporting American jobs in Michigan! 🇺🇸⚡

🇺🇸ICYMI: The Energy Department is delivering on President Trump’s Executive Order to facilitate 5GW of power from existing nuclear reactors!

Michigan’s Palisades nuclear plant is set to make history as America's first retired nuclear plant to restart.

Backed by a @DOE_EDF loan, it’s the 1st of three nuclear restarts @ENERGY is advancing under President Trump to bring back affordable, reliable power for Americans.

Thanks to President Trump, Michigan’s Palisades Nuclear Plant is set to restart later this year. It will lower costs for millions of Michiganders, create jobs and prevent blackouts.

We are all in on energy addition!

@ENERGY has closed a $5.1B loan package with Alliant Energy to lower energy costs & strengthen grid reliability in Iowa and Wisconsin!

⚡2,200+ MW of new or upgraded firm power
🔋1,000 MW of battery storage
🔥1,600 MW of new natural gas generation

President Trump's energy addition agenda is simple:

More energy, more jobs, and lower costs.

Today we announced a conditional loan commitment of up to $5 billion from @ENERGY’s @DOE_EDF to help finance nuclear uprates across our fleet. More reliable, around-the-clock nuclear energy = more power for America’s growing economy.

.@SecretaryWright: “The plan is to take 15 reactors at 8 different locations and uprate them. Meaning the plant behind me would get another 150MW of power output...

Significantly more energy, puts downward pressure on rates, allows more manufacturing, more jobs to be created."

Visited Byron Nuclear Station, where Energy Department announced a loan to produce more electricity from Byron and other existing Midwest plants—one of the fastest, most affordable ways to add reliable power.

@POTUS’ energy addition agenda in action: more energy, lower costs.

@ENERGY commits up to $5B for nuclear uprates in IL, MD, & PA—adding 1,100 MW of reliable power for 930K+ homes.

Ohio’s Davis-Besse nuclear plant is getting a major boost! EDF’s conditional loan will modernize and extend Davis-Besse’s operations, supporting local jobs and delivering safe, affordable, reliable power for Ohio families and businesses: energy.gov/node/4860535

We were excited to welcome U.S. Department of Energy Financing official Director Gregory Beard, Mayor Skip Henderson, and other partners to tour Oliver Dam in Columbus, Georgia. The visit gave our partners a firsthand look at how U.S Department of Energy (DOE) investments in re helping power Georgia’s bright future. ⚡💧

Supported by an Office of Energy Dominance Financing (EDF) loan to Southern Company, modernization efforts at Oliver Dam are extending the life of this renewable energy asset, improving efficiency, and helping deliver affordable, reliable energy to the customers and communities we serve.

By upgrading existing infrastructure, we are strengthening Georgia’s energy future while supporting economic growth, job creation, and long-term resilience. Thank you to the U.S. Department of Energy, local leaders, and everyone involved in making this important visit a success. 🤝 @ENERGY @DOE_EDF

EDF Director Gregory Beard recently visited the SHINE Chrysalis facility in Janesville, WI where EDF's conditional commitment is helping strengthen our nuclear workforce & secure America's supply chains!
