Constellation Energy announced that its emissions-free clean energy centers achieved near-perfect reliability during the summer months of June, July, and August, operating at 98.8% of the time. This performance underscores the reliability of its nuclear fleet during periods of extended heatwaves and high humidity.
The company's 21 nuclear reactors across 12 sites in the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast provided consistent power equivalent to 16 million homes and businesses. This operational excellence is attributed to over $7 billion in investments made over the past decade to upgrade and enhance the U.S. nuclear fleet.
Constellation continues to pursue investments to increase the output from its existing nuclear plants and is restarting the Crane Clean Energy Center in Pennsylvania. These efforts are projected to add up to 2,000 megawatts of new, clean, and reliable baseload capacity to the grid, crucial for powering the data economy and electrification trends.
