Vistra reports NRC approval to own, operate three Energy Harbor nuclear plants

Vistra and Energy Harbor received approval from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, or NRC, to transfer the operating licenses of Energy Harbor’s three nuclear plants – Beaver Valley, Davis-Besse, and Perry – to Vistra. “The NRC’s thorough and timely review of the license transfer application brings this transaction closer to completion. To finalize the acquisition, Vistra awaits a decision from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission – FERC – on its request for approval of the transaction. Vistra continues to target closing the transaction before the end of the year,” the company stated.
