With Indian Point 3 wrapped up, Entergy will now pursue its acquisition of Indian Point 2 and the mothballed Unit 1 from Consolidated Edison Co. of New York, and hopes to close that transaction by next summer. Con Edison is replacing the steam generators in Indian Point 2 and hopes to have the plant running by the end of the year.
