Dive Summary:
- After the Midwest Independent System Operator (MISO) found the planned shutdown of the Kewaunee Power Station in Carlton, Wisconsin would not hurt the regional electrical grid, Dominion Resources Inc. said it would proceed with plans to decommission and shut down the nuclear plant.
- Dominion announced last fall it would shut down the 556-megawatt powerplant after being unable to find a buyer.
- Dominion CEO Thomas F. Farrell II claimed the plant's closing "is in no way a reflection" on its 400 employees.
