Entergy's Indian Point Unit 3 to Permanently Shut Down News provided by Share this article Share this article BUCHANAN, N.Y., April 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Control room operators at Entergy Corporation's (NYSE: ETR) Indian Point Energy Center Unit 3 will shut down the nuclear reactor by Friday, April 30, for the final time, marking the end of nearly 60 successful years of safe, virtually carbon-free power generation at the facility. Announced in 2017, the shutdown of both operating units at Indian Point is pursuant to a settlement agreement with the State of New York and was the result of a number of factors, including sustained low current and projected wholesale energy prices that reduced revenues. Indian Point Unit 2 shut down as scheduled on April 30, 2020.
