Progress Energy's $100-Million Dilemma: Retire Or Repair Crystal River Nuclear Plant

Jim Saunders — Tue, 08 Jan 2013 14:00:00 +0000

Still undecided about whether to repair or permanently shut down an idled nuclear-power plant, Progress Energy Florida faces the likelihood of eventually refunding up to $100 million to customers.

The refunds stem from a wide-ranging settlement agreement that Progress reached in early 2012 with representatives of consumers and business groups. Under that settlement, the utility would not have been subject to refunding money if it started repairs on the Crystal River nuclear plant by Dec. 31.
