Millstone Nuclear Power Station Expansion

planned

The project involves potential expansion of nuclear power capacity at the Dominion site in Waterford, Connecticut, which houses the existing Millstone Nuclear Power Station. Legislative actions have lifted the state's nuclear moratorium for this site, allowing for nuclear expansion. The state has authorized funds for technical assistance for early site permitting and is conducting informational sessions to help municipalities understand nuclear power and its new iterations. However, challenges include regulatory environment, high upfront costs, and the long timeline for deployment, with commercial operation timelines contemplated in the late 2030s.
