Decommissioning Diablo Canyon Power Plant in 2025
Follow the decommissioning planning process
PG&E will discontinue its power operations at Diablo Canyon upon the expiration of the Unit 1 and Unit 2 operating licenses, in November 2024 and August 2025, respectively.
Decommissioning will begin promptly after the units shutdown; and the process will take approximately ten years.
PG&E is soliciting suggested ideas and offers for future use of the Diablo Canyon lands and facilities.
