Millstone Power Station
Millstone generates 2,097 megawatts from its two operational units – enough electricity to power 500,000 homes.
Unit 1 began commercial operation in December 1970, and ceased operating in July 1998. It is being decommissioned. Unit 2 began commercial operation in December 1975, and Unit 3 began operating in April 1986. Dominion acquired the station in March 2001.
Millstone is located in southeast Connecticut, three miles west-southwest of New London. The station was named after the site’s historic granite quarry that produced high-quality millstones and structural building granite.
About The Environment
