Entergy Corporation closes the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station in Massachusetts">Entergy Corporation closes the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station in Massachusetts
(Thu, 13 Jun 2019) On May 31, 2019, Entergy Nuclear Generation Company (Entergy), a business unit of Entergy Corporation, permanently closed its 679 (summer-weighted) megawatt (MW) Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (Pilgrim) located along the shores of Cape Cod Bay. In October 2015, Entergy announced that Pilgrim was retiring because of the relative cost of operating the plant compared with the level of wholesale power prices in New England. Pilgrim started commercial operations in 1972, and it was the tenth-oldest nuclear plant in the United States at the time of its closing.
