Exelon to Close Cromby and Eddystone by 2011

Exelon will shut four 50-year-old power generating stations near Philadelphia in 2011 that are no longer economic to operate and are unnecessary to meet shrinking demand for electricity in the region. Exelon said it will record pretax charges totaling $258 million related to the shutdowns through 2011.The company will close two units at the Cromby Generating Station and Units 1 and 2 at Eddystone Generating Station effective May 31, 2011. "Decreased power demand, over supply of natural gas and increasing operating costs has led Exelon Power to retire these units," Doyle Beneby, senior vice president of Exelon Power, said in a statement.
