In Jan. 2017, Entergy announced it would permanently close Unit 2 and Unit 3 as part of a settlement agreement with New York State. Key considerations in the shutdown decision were sustained low current and projected wholesale energy prices, increased operating costs and continuing costs for license renewal. Unit 2 was permanently shut down on April 30, 2020. Unit 3 will be shut down by April 30, 2021.

Unit 1 at Indian Point was permanently retired in 1974.
