The Byron Clean Energy Center is a nuclear power plant located in Ogle County, Illinois, 2 miles (3.2 km) east of the Rock River.The reactor buildings were constructed by Commonwealth Edison and house two Westinghouse Four-Loop [2] pressurized water reactors, Unit 1 and Unit 2, which began operation in September 1985 and August 1987 respectively.
The power station began commercial operation on November 24, 1987 and has a nominal net electric output of 1062 MWe. Due to inflation and cost overruns, Clinton's final construction cost was $4.25 billion ($11.4 billion today), nearly 1,000% over the original budget of $430 million and seven years behind schedule.
