Biden-Harris Administration Announces $1.5 Billion Conditional Commitment to Holtec Palisades to Support Recommission of Michigan Nuclear Power Plant ( www.energy.gov )

$1.9m/MW is dirt cheap for nuclear, about one fifth the cost of a new site and about the same as the capital cost for wind+storage. This is due to recomissioning being cheaper.

I am seeing rumbles about already seeking additional funding from the state, so we’ll see if this project gets hit with the cost overruns that plague new construction.
