US energy company Entergy is in discussions with the US power utility Exelon Corporation for the potential sale of the 813 MW James A. FitzPatrick nuclear power plant in Scriba, New York (United States).
Entergy announced in November 2015 that it planned to shut down and decommission the FitzPatrick plant, later setting the timing to cease operations as late January 2017. Selling the plant to Exelon would be in line with Entergy’s commitment to consider any viable option that would allow FitzPatrick to remain in operation.
In addition to the Clean Energy Standard, any transaction between Entergy and Exelon would be subject to completion of definitive commercial agreements, as well as regulatory approvals. If discussions between Entergy and Exelon don't result in an agreement for the sale and transfer of ownership of FitzPatrick, Entergy will move forward with its current plan to cease operations, followed by decommissioning.
