FitzPatrick saga ends with sale to Exelon secured
After 18 months of tension in Oswego County the FitzPatrick Nuclear Plant will stay open for at least 12 more years following regulatory approval of the transfer from Entergy to Exelon. Officials, workers, and local leaders fought to avert closure, advocating for continued operations and regional economic stability amid declines in energy costs and tax revenue. The timeline traces the push to refueling concerns, state interventions, and a CES backed sale that preserves hundreds of jobs and local tax benefits.
