The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has approved Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s 20-year license renewal for the Diablo Canyon Power Plant, ensuring its continued operation to provide clean energy to millions of Californians. This approval follows a three-year review process and aligns with state mandates to keep the plant running beyond its original planned retirement to ensure grid reliability and meet growing energy demand. Diablo Canyon is California’s largest source of clean energy, contributing significantly to the state’s decarbonization efforts and providing substantial annual financial benefits from avoided greenhouse gas emissions.
