伊利诺伊州停止核建筑禁令,到2033年增加2千兆瓦的清洁电力。 Illinois ends nuclear construction ban to add 2 GW of clean power by 2033.

2026年2月,伊利诺伊州州长JB Pritzker签署了一项行政命令,取消了长达数十年的新核建设暂停令,为到2033年开始的至少两千兆瓦的新核能力铺平了道路,这些能力足以为多达200万个住宅提供电力。 In February 2026, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker signed an executive order lifting a decades-old moratorium on new nuclear construction, paving the way for at least two gigawatts of new nuclear capacity—enough to power up to two million homes—starting by 2033. 这项行动的目的是防止国家根据《气候和公平就业法》到2045年向无碳电力过渡时今后出现电力短缺。 The move aims to prevent future power shortages as the state transitions to carbon-free electricity by 2045 under the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act. 国家机构必须确定可能的地点,评估监管需求,并在60天内与社区接触,而一个工作组将在120天内审查法律并提出修改建议。 State agencies must identify potential sites, assess regulatory needs, and engage communities within 60 days, while a working group will review laws and recommend changes within 120 days. 该命令支持伊利诺伊州的核领导,2024年核电厂提供了一半以上的电力,并试图在需求不断增长的情况下保持能源的可靠性、可负担性和就业增长。 The order supports Illinois’ nuclear leadership, where nuclear plants supplied over half the state’s electricity in 2024, and seeks to maintain energy reliability, affordability, and job growth amid rising demand.
