Fermi 2 Power Plant is a nuclear generating station in Newport, Michigan, associated with the MISO registry. The EIA plant baseline lists 1,281 MW of nameplate capacity. DTE Energy describes Fermi 2 as a 1.1-million-kilowatt facility and says it began commercial operation in 1988; the figures are presented as source-specific capacity measures rather than interchangeable values.
