Section 8 - Other Events
Item 8.01. Other Events.
On March 29, 2018, Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Generation) issued a press release reporting that it has formally notified grid operator ISO New England Inc. of its plans to retire the Mystic Generating Station’s Units 7, 8, 9 and the Jet unit on June 1, 2022. Absent any regulatory reforms to properly value reliability and regional fuel security, these units will not participate in the Forward Capacity Auction scheduled for February 2019. Generation also announced an agreement to purchase ENGIE North America’s liquified natural gas (LNG) import terminal to ensure the continued reliable supply of fuel to Mystic Units 8 and 9 while they remain operating. Closure of the transaction is dependent upon regulatory review by the Department of Energy for LNG import authorization and, as necessary, authorization from the U.S. Department of Justice. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2018. A copy of this press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
