OSWEGO, NY – Exelon Generation’s Nine Mile Point Unit 2 reached full power at 11:37 a.m. today (August 9).

Operators reconnected to the power grid on August 8, after addressing an equipment issue on the non-nuclear side of the plant.

While the unit was offline, plant technicians completed repairs and testing to correct the equipment issue that caused the shutdown.

The Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station is located seven miles northeast of Oswego and 50 miles north of Syracuse.

The station can produce more than 1,937 megawatts of carbon-free electricity – enough to power nearly two million homes.
