MONTPELIER, Vt.—
In a filing in U.S. District Court in Brattleboro on Friday, Entergy says that it is entitled to collect that amount from the state under various previous court rulings tied to the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution.
Vermont passed a law in 2005 saying the Legislature had to give its approval before the Public Service Board could issue a license for Vermont Yankee to operate for another 20 years. The Legislature has declined to give its approval, and Entergy sued.
Last month, a federal judge in Brattleboro ruled for the company.
