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.

CA Negotiates $3.5 Billion in Damage Control on Power Contracts
LCG, April 23, 2002-Energy companies have agreed to rewrite contracts, saving California $3.5 billion in long-term power contracts.Pressured by the energy crisis and shackled to last year's skyrocketing rates, California bought $43 billion in long-term electricity contracts. A third of these agreements were renegotiated, trimming off $3.5 billion after five months of talks between state officials and power companies.According to state officials, energy companies Calpine and Constellation Energy also will pay $8.5 million in settlements regarding allegations that they charged illegally inflated prices during the power crisis.The state managed to renegotiate four large Calpine contracts, one contract with Constellation and contracts with Capitol Power, Cabazon and Whitewater Hill, deflating their total of $15 billion to $11.4 billion.According to Governor Gray Davis's chief counsel Barry Goode, the new contracts utilize stronger language, guaranteeing that new generators will be built. The state will have greater authority to deny grants and even terminate one of the contracts if power companies fail to create sufficient new generation. Calpine will face fines if it does not build new plants, including the proposed Metcalf facility, which is intended to supply Silicon Valley.As a result of the new contracts, California will no longer demand refunds from Calpine through the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). State agencies will not question the contracts' "reasonableness" either. However, Governor Davis plans to continue urging FERC to investigate the possibility that power companies manipulated California's electricity market.
