The Pilgrim nuclear power plant in Plymouth has permanently shut down after 47 years of generating electricity, bring to a close the era of nuclear power in Massachusetts.
The final shutdown occurred at 5:28 p.m. Friday.


WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR REGIONAL ENERGY SUPPLIES?
Pilgrim's retirement and the loss of its 680 megawatts of power aren't likely to disrupt overall regional energy supplies or the reliability of the electrical grid, according to experts.
ISO-New England, which operates the region's bulk power system, says three new power plants that can burn either natural gas or oil will be online by this summer and several small solar facilities and a new wind farm will also help absorb the impact.
"We've actually seen more megawatts coming in than the megawatts of Pilgrim that are leaving," said Anne George, a vice president for ISO.
The shutdown could result in a short-term increase in carbon emissions because of the greater reliance on the gas and oil-burning plants, she added, though longer range trends point to growth in cleaner, renewable energy sources.
