History
Sited in East Shoreham, the Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant was approved for Shoreham in 1973, but it was later decommissioned as the result of public protest. The builder, Long Island Lighting Company (LILCO), was partially reimbursed for money spent on construction. The municipal bonds that were floated to reimburse the builder are being paid off by a special levy on the electric bills of residents of Long Island. In 2022, estimates calculated the debt had grown from just under $8 billion to over $9 billion – more than $8,000 per ratepayer.
