Powering New England Every Day
Seabrook Station is located on 900 acres on the seacoast of southern New Hampshire. The plant is operated in a highly responsible manner and is dedicated to protecting the environment while meeting the energy needs of New England.
Emissions-free power at scale
Seabrook contributes a substantial amount of emissions-free energy to New England. Each year, Seabrook’s operations avoid emissions equivalent to taking approximately 800,000 cars off the road.
Lower energy costs for consumers
Seabrook’s operation lowers consumer energy costs throughout New England by providing a year-round, low-cost, baseload energy supply. Connecticut state officials have attributed cost savings to electric consumers to “millions of dollars…saved by buying power from Millstone and the Seabrook…at rates that are now below the market average in New England.” Seabrook also has a long-term agreement with Vermont utility Green Mountain Power to supply power at a low cost.
Significant regional savings, year after year
Recent ISO New England economic studies show that nuclear generation will continue to reduce emissions for years to come, while saving approximately $500 million annually for New England customers.
Important Safety Information for Neighbors
Seabrook Station’s top priority is to protect the health and safety of the public. To ensure we are ready to respond in the unlikely event of an emergency, Seabrook Station closely coordinates with the states of New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Learn more about your emergency plan:

Always-on reliability
Seabrook operates at full capacity nearly every day of the year, providing enough energy for approximately 1.4 million homes and businesses. Wind and solar resources’ available generation capacity varies significantly throughout the year.
Reduced reliance on natural gas
Seabrook’s operation significantly reduces New England’s demand for natural gas, which helps keep energy costs low for consumers.
Improved winter reliability
The ISO New England has raised concerns about grid reliability in the winter due to natural gas constraints. Preserving Seabrook’s generation would reduce the risk of rolling winter blackouts.
Supports state climate goals without raising costs
Seabrook’s operation will help states meet greenhouse gas reduction goals, while saving money for customers.
