James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant

Oswego County, United States

The 1004th largest power station in the world

883.3 MW · Capacity

The James A. FitzPatrick (JAF) Nuclear Power Plant is located in the Town of Scriba, near Oswego, New York, on the southeast shore of Lake Ontario. The nuclear power plant has one General Electric boiling water reactor. The 900-acre (360 ha) site is also the location of two other units at the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Generating Station. The power plant was originally built by Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation. FitzPatrick and half of the Nine Mile Point site were transferred to the Power Authority of the State of New York (PASNY), now called the New York Power Authority (NYPA). It was named after Power Authority Chairman James A. FitzPatrick, and the NYPA operated the plant until November 2000 when it was sold to Entergy Corporation. On November 2, 2015, Entergy announced its plans to shut down FitzPatrick at the time of its next fuel change in 2016 but instead elected to sell the plant to Exelon Generation for $110 million. On April 1, 2017, Exelon's generation division, Constellation Energy assumed ownership and continues to operate the plant.
