Duke Energy says it is drawing up plans to file licence renewal applications for its entire fleet of 11 nuclear power plants at the Oconee, McGuire, Catawba, Harris, Robinson and Brunswick nuclear power stations in North and South Carolina, according to press reports.
“These plants generate clean and cost-effective power, provide thousands of well-paying jobs and produce substantial economic benefits,” said Preston Gillespie, Duke Energy's chief nuclear officer.
He said altogether, the operations produce nearly 110,000 MW and power electricity for half of the company’s customers in the state of Carolina.
