Nuclear power plant owners are welcoming reports that Gov. Andrew Cuomo wants state regulators to mandate that half of the state’s energy come from renewable energy sources by 2030.

Entergy said Monday it will close the 838-MW James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant by early 2017 due to declining revenues and high operational costs.

Entergy is expected to announce this week whether it will keep operating the James A. FitzPatrick nuclear plant near Syracuse.
