The 601-MW boiling water reactor unit was shut down in 2020 and is expected to commence operations by the first quarter of 2029, pending regulatory approvals to restart the plant.

COVID-19 Simulation Results for ERCOT 2020 - a Comparison to Business as Usual Case
LCG, April 23, 2020 -- The COVID-19 pandemic is having a profound impact on daily life and the economy, from affecting which businesses are allowed to operate, to influencing international oil prices. States and major cities in the US are instituting quarantines, along with shelter-in-place directives, to contain the spread of COVID-19. Power markets will likely deviate from their business-as-usual scenario as a result of decline in power demand and fuel prices.
Both the business as usual (bau) and the COVID-case were simulated using UPLAN Net-Work Power model, and the main results are published in this report .The readers can download the the report directly.
