Safe, Clean, Green and Reliable
At Entergy, we are committed to nuclear generation as a key element of our
growth strategy.
With 11 nuclear generation plants in seven states, Entergy has capitalized on
nuclear expertise and economies of scale to improve plant safety, performance,
and reliability. Entergy's commitment to nuclear energy reflects its strong
environmental commitment by providing emission-free power generation.
In the Northeast, Entergy Nuclear operates plants at:
-
Indian Point Energy Center - Buchanan, NY
-
James A. FitzPatrick - Oswego, NY
-
Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station - Plymouth, MA

Vermont Yankee - Vernon, VT
Safe
Entergy's commitment to safety is evident at all of the
nuclear facilities we are privileged to own, operate, and manage across the
United States.
We take great pride in our distinguished record for making significant
operational improvements in the safety and performance of our nuclear
facilities. Safety performance of nuclear energy plants is measured by the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s reactor oversight process, and Entergy
Nuclear’s plants consistently perform at levels that require only baseline
inspections and routine NRC interactions.
Nuclear reactors and the structures that contain them are among the strongest
structures built by man. They are designed to safeguard plant personnel and
the community even under the most catastrophic scenarios.
Clean
Nuclear is a clean energy source. Replacing nuclear plants
with fossil-fueled plants would dramatically increase emissions into the
atmosphere and surrounding environment.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy and the Energy Information
Administration Voluntary Reporting of Greenhouse Gases published in 1999, the
single most effective emission control strategy for utilities was to increase
nuclear generation.
Green
Entergy has emerged as one of the best nuclear operators in
the country. That's important to know, because nuclear power is the most
eco-efficient energy source given its high power generation with minimal
environmental impact. In fact, most nuclear power plants produce much more
energy than a typical fossil fuel, hydro, solar, or wind source.
Reliable
When you choose Entergy Solutions as your retail
electricity provider, your electricity service continues smoothly and
reliably. As important, you'll be able to count on excellent customer service
and the convenience of dealing with one company for all your electricity
needs—a company known for providing a reliable product at a good price for
more than 95 years.
