Exelon Mulls Closure of Unprofitable Quad Cities Nuke Plant

2015-08-30 22:07:08| Energy - Topix.net

Exelon Corp. has until Oct. 1 to decide if it'll close its unprofitable Quad Cities nuclear plant, and is still pushing state lawmakers for a fix. The company says the two-reactor plant in northwestern Illinois is losing money because of high costs of moving electricity along transmission lines shared with wind power and increased competition from lower-cost natural gas-fired plants.
