It was the fourth nuclear facility built in Wisconsin and the 44th in the United States. The plant ceased operations on May 7, 2013, due to economic factors, specifically falling electricity prices driven by lower natural gas costs. The facility occupied a 900-acre site and was situated southeast of Green Bay.
