SCRIBA, N.Y., March 31, 2017
SCRIBA, N.Y., March 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Entergy Corporation (NYSE: ETR) completed the sale today of the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant in Scriba, NY, to Exelon Generation (NYSE: EXC). The transaction is another step in Entergy's exit from its merchant power business.
The completion of the transaction marks the culmination of months of preparation by employees from Entergy and Exelon to ensure a seamless transfer of the plant's federal operating license and many of FitzPatrick's approximately 600 employees to its new owner.
Entergy and Exelon announced the planned sale of FitzPatrick in August 2016, after Entergy announced its intention to close the plant in January 2017. A critical factor was enactment of New York State's Clean Energy Standard program, approved in 2016, that recognizes the zero emission attributes of New York's nuclear power plants.
FitzPatrick completed a refueling and maintenance outage in February that will enable the plant to run for another operating cycle. The 838-megawatt plant generates carbon-free electricity for more than 800,000 homes and businesses.
