IMPLAN and the Palisades Nuclear Facility

What to Expect
30 Minutes
What is required to obtain public funding and political approval for a complex energy project?
Watch as Andrew Fennell walks through a case study on how IMPLAN-supported economic impact analysis justified the reopening of Michigan’s Palisades Nuclear Facility, the first attempted restart of a decommissioned nuclear plant in U.S. history.
In response to environmental opposition and Department of Energy scrutiny, Holtec International commissioned an IMPLAN-based analysis to quantify the jobs, tax revenues, and broader economic contributions associated with reopening the plant.
The analysis supported $400 million in federal funding, $1.5 billion in state investment, and full project approval in December 2025.
In this 30-minute session, you’ll learn:
- How economic impact analysis strengthens project advocacy
- How data can counter political and environmental opposition
- How quantified jobs and tax impacts support funding decisions
If you are seeking support for a data center, manufacturing facility, energy project, or other major development, this webinar will demonstrate how credible economic modeling can influence decision-making.
