Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station

The Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, which is outside of Syracuse in Scriba, New York, has two boiling-water reactors. Unit 1 is a 609 MW reactor that entered service in 1969 and Unit 2 is a 1,148 MW reactor that began operation in 1988. As part of the company’s balanced growth trend, Constellation Energy purchased Nine Mile Point in 2001 from Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation and other utilities. Constellation Energy now owns 100% of Unit 1 and 82% of Unit 2 -- 1,550 megawatts of Nine Mile Point’s 1,757 MW of total generating capacity. The Long Island Power Authority owns 18% of Unit 2.
