Planning for our energy future
Indiana Michigan Power is committed to safely meeting public demand for clean energy and investing in the communities we serve and partner with. Nuclear power has been the cornerstone of I&M’s diverse, reliable generation mix and produces a large amount of emission-free energy. Advanced nuclear technology is the next step in nuclear energy generation, and I&M has partnerships in place to incorporate lessons learned from the earliest adopters of this technology while we explore the development of our own projects in Indiana.
Advanced nuclear technology will play an important role in helping I&M provide a reliable power supply and meet its clean energy goals. To balance renewable energy sources, advanced nuclear can provide clean energy to I&M customers 24/7, 365 days a year, rain or shine.
