ENTERGY Corp's over 40-year old Indian Point nuclear power plant will be shut by 2021 because of concerns for the safety of millions of New Yorkers in and around the Big Apple, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced on Monday.
After fighting for nearly a decade to renew the plant's licences, Entergy has agreed to shut the reactors, which supply about a quarter of New York City's power needs, giving the state time to find alternative power sources. "I am proud to have secured this agreement with Entergy to close the facility 14 years ahead of schedule to protect the safety of all New Yorkers," Mr Cuomo said in a statement.
