Constellation Files License Renewal Applications with the NRC for Two New York Units

LCG, June 29, 2026--Constellation announced on June 26 that it has filed license renewal applications with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to extend for 20 years the operations of Ginna Clean Energy Center and Nine Mile Point Unit 1 reactors in upstate New York to 2049. Constellation stated that it's decision to invest in these plants to extend their safe and reliable operations into mid-century demonstrates that New York State's renewal of its Zero Emissions Credit (ZEC) program is working as intended. Furthermore, Constellation stated that maintaining its nuclear fleet is estimated to save New Yorkers $50 billion and sustain reliable emissions-free generation resources to serve increasing electricity demands.

PG&E Requests Rate Decrease

LCG, April 17, 2002--Yesterday Pacific Gas & Electric asked the California Public Utilities Commission for permission to decrease its electricity rates by an average of 3.6 percent.

To be active June 1st, the utility's filing is in response to the expiration of a half cent per kilowatt-hour surcharge applied last year in June. In January 2001, rates were increased by 1 cent, and in March 2001 the utility received approval to increase rates by three cents, but the rate increase only became effective on June 1, 2001. The expiring half-cent surcharge was meant to make up for lost revenue in the delay between March and June.

The effect of the new filing, if approved, will be to decrease agricultural rates by 4 tenths of a cent per kilowatt-hour from 14.6 to 14.2 cents/kWh; large business rates would decrease by 6 tenths of a cent per kWh, and residential rates by about 2 tenths of a cent per kWh, from 13.5 to 13.2 cents/kWh.

PG&E and the California Public Utilities Commission have meanwhile submitted competing plans as to what to do about PG&E's $13.5 billion debt. The utility filed for bankruptcy last year, and, according to the U.S. Bankruptcy court, PG&E creditors will have an opportunity later this year to vote on which plan to implement.
