12/06/2018

vernon, vermont – the vermont public utility commission (puc) today issued an order that approves the proposed sale of entergy nuclear vermont yankee to subsidiaries of northstar group services for decommissioning the vermont yankee nuclear power station site. the puc also issued an amended certificate of public good, which authorizes northstar to own, possess the licenses for, and decommission vermont yankee.

previously, on october 11, the u.s. nuclear regulatory commission approved the transfer of vermont yankee’s operating licenses to northstar. entergy and northstar are planning to close the sale transaction in early 2019, subject to satisfaction of all closing conditions.

the puc’s decision is another milestone toward the safe, timely, and efficient decommissioning of vermont yankee, which would be a positive outcome for the town of vernon, windham county, the state of vermont and other stakeholders. in addition, entergy is continuing to fulfill its corporate strategy of exiting the merchant nuclear power business.
