Constellation Energy reported a net income of $2.32 billion in 2025 and gave updates on the planned restart of the former Three Mile Island nuclear facility.

ERCOT staff have promised more clarity on the link between the initial batch study process for large loads and the subsequent studies and existing planning structure during an upcoming workshop.

FERC upheld its approval of Constellation Energy’s purchase of Calpine while also addressing arguments from consumer and environmental groups.

PJM, with prompting from 13 governors, is trying another solution to resource adequacy: the “Reliability Backstop Auction.” While details still are being negotiated, this boils down to throwing money at new power plants, says Tom Rutigliano of the NRDC.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright directed FERC to start a rulemaking that will consider it claiming jurisdiction over the interconnection of large loads to speed up the buildout of AI data centers and reshored manufacturing.

The U.S. Department of Energy is looking for developers that want to build artificial intelligence data centers — and the power generation to run them — on two nuclear sites.

"Deep, collaborative partnerships combined with creative problem-solving are the only way we can meet the explosion of AI growth, as well as society's accelerating electricity demand," said Sheldon Kimber, CEO of Intersect Power.

Constellation filed a complaint at FERC seeking to formalize the guidance PJM has on co-located demand, saying it should be included in the tariff.

The dispute between Exelon and Constellation Energy continued to play out in FERC, as the latter and others protested a series of filings from the former’s utilities seeking to implement new rules for co-locating data centers at power plants in their territories

Exelon on Sept. 30 filed a petition for a declaratory order from FERC on its dispute with Constellation Energy over the latter’s effort to co-locate major loads at two of its nuclear plants.
