SRP to Host St. Johns Community Update regarding Coronado Generating Station Repurposing

WHAT:
As part of its efforts to review opportunities to utilize the existing infrastructure associated with the Coronado Generating Station (CGS), SRP commissioned a repurposing study from Kiewit to identify low- and zero-carbon technologies mature enough to be implemented at the CGS site by Spring 2033.​  

SRP is also reviewing the findings of a separate study from Gateway for Accelerated Innovation in Nuclear (GAIN), a U.S. Department of Energy initiative, on the feasibility of advanced nuclear generation at the CGS site.  

SRP will host a community event in St. Johns to provide an update on the results of these studies. 

The event will include presentations from SRP and GAIN, then provide open-house style informational stations for community members to review.
