The California PUC commissioners made the right choice in preserving California’s largest and most reliable clean energy source, Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant. Keeping California’s lights on requires keeping Diablo Canyon online.
Extending plant operations of Diablo Canyon beyond 2025 will safeguard California’s clean energy transition by shoring up California’s power grid with an always-on and affordable source of dispatchable clean baseload electricity, generated by nuclear energy.
We thank California’s state policymakers, including the PUC and Gov. Newsom, for their leadership in preserving Diablo Canyon’s zero-carbon energy. We also want to thank and congratulate Diablo Canyon’s allies, grassroots supporters, and local California ANS members for their hard work and success in saving Diablo Canyon.”
