September 26, 2011. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is confident the state can replace the power generated by the giant Indian Point nuclear plant, but offered no details. Cuomo wants the 2,065-megawatt nuclear plant, located on the Hudson River about 45 miles north of New York City in Westchester County, to shut when its two reactors' original 40-year operating licenses expire in 2013 and 2015. Entergy, the second biggest nuclear power plant operator in the United States and Indian Point's owner, however, wants the reactors to continue running for another 20 years and has asked federal nuclear regulators for new operating licenses. Indian Point generates about 25 percent of the power used in New York City and Westchester. Each of the plant's two reactors is capable of powering about a million homes.
