Nuclear power is federally regulated. Nuclear power could always be private, and government entities could own them too.
One example is municipalities having a stake in nuclear energy: Nuclear power is obtained for our customers via the South Texas Project (STP) located in Bay City, Texas. CPS Energy owns a 40 percent stake in STP (NRG Energy of Texas owns 44 percent, while Austin Energy owns 16 percent). STP units 1 and 2 generate 1,029 megawatts of power for our customers.
