The Joint Committee on Energy voted June 18 to authorize the Bureau of Legislative Research to negotiate a contract with Excel Services Corporation to carry out the technical feasibility study required by Act 707 of 2025 on new nuclear energy generation. Representative Jack Ladyman moved the authorization; Representative Richard McGrew seconded, and the motion was recorded as carried.
Act 707 directs a technical feasibility study examining new nuclear generation options; the committee’s motion specifically directed staff to negotiate an agreement with Excel Services Corporation and return a draft contract to the committee for later review.
