Entergy and Exelon filed a petition with New York regulators Monday seeking approval of Exelon’s purchase of the James A. FitzPatrick nuclear plant.

The second quarter wasn’t a great one for most companies in the RTO Insider Top 30, as revenues declined 2% compared with 2015 while profits dropped 15%.

Concerned about the impact of nuclear plant retirements in the state, Michigan officials have asked MISO to conduct a reliability analysis that assumes simultaneous outages at the Palisades and Fermi 2 nuclear plants. 

FERC certified a settlement between Entergy Services and the Louisiana PSC in the corporation’s ninth annual bandwidth filing under its system agreement.

Entergy reiterated that it does not intend to continue operating the troubled James A. FitzPatrick nuclear plant in upstate New York beyond January 2017.

Exelon is buying the Consolidated Edison (Con Ed) retail energy business as it continues its efforts to hedge against falling wholesale power prices.

Entergy said it may sell its troubled James A. FitzPatrick nuclear plant to Exelon if New York legislators approve the proposed Clean Energy Standard.

FERC gave the go-ahead for Entergy Arkansas to collect through rates a decommissioning requirement for Arkansas Nuclear One’s Unit 2.

A key New York legislator called for the immediate implementation of nuclear subsidies, a day after Exelon threatened to close Nine Mile Point Unit 1.

Exelon (NYSE:EXC) said it will close its Nine Mile Point 1 nuclear plant next spring if New York has not guaranteed it a financial lifeline by September.
