BUCHANAN, N.Y., May 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Entergy Corporation (NYSE: ETR) today completed the sale of the subsidiaries that own Indian Point Energy Center to a Holtec International subsidiary, which plans to complete major decommissioning activities at the site decades sooner than if Entergy had continued to own the facility. The final operating unit at the site, Unit 3, was shut down by Entergy on April 30, 2021, after generating electricity safely and reliably for the last 45 years.
Indian Point Unit 1 was shut down in 1974. Indian Point Unit 2 was shut down in April 2020.
