San Onofre nuclear plant may remain off-line
Experts for the agency that operates the state’s power grid say they’re taking steps to prepare for another summer without power generation from the shuttered San Onofre nuclear power plant.
The California Independent System Operator spokesman Steven Greenlee says the agency’s board of governors was briefed Thursday on recent analysis of the power grid needs in the parts of the state served by the plant.
The ISO’s moves give a strong indication that the increasingly troubled plant will not be operational anytime soon, if it’s not shut down altogether.
The plant located between Los Angeles and San Diego is co-owned by San Diego Gas & Electric and Southern California Edison.
It has been closed since January because of excessive wear to tubes that carry radioactive water.r the agency that operates the state’s power grid say they’re taking steps to prepare for another summer without power generation from the shuttered San Onofre nuclear power plant.
