DOE loan, task force report spur nuclear momentum in Iowa
NextEra Energy has secured a Department of Energy loan of up to $1.9 billion for its restart of the Duane Arnold nuclear power plant in Linn County, Iowa.
The announcement that NextEra and the DOE’s Office of Energy Dominance Financing had closed on a loan came this morning, less than a week after the state’s Nuclear Energy Task Force issued a final report on the feasibility of new nuclear projects in Iowa.
