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.

Canadians Clash Over Alberta Power
LCG, April 24, 2002-Power generators and consumers began a six-week hearing this week in Calgary over the congestion management of Alberta's transmission grid.Alberta's transmission authority, ESBI Alberta, manages 20,000 kilometers of transmission. Expanding the aging system to meet future generation needs is estimated to cost somewhere between half a billion and one billion Canadian dollars ($319 to $638 million).Generators and consumers, northerners and southerners must find some medium by which to operate the Alberta grid.Large companies like TransCanada PipeLines Ltd. and TransAlta Corp. will contest ESBI's proposals, which include retaining a "postage stamp" approach to increasing production and applying transmission fees to support exports. Postage stamp fees essentially set a standard price on transmission transactions regardless of distance or path of the transaction.Some participants contend that generators may benefit from export revenues gained from expansion, which would be paid for by customers. According to the Dow Jones, Optimum Energy Management Inc.'s Dale Hildebrand asserted, "If you believe in the market, let the market decide. Don't roll costs in to give one generator a competitive advantage over another generator."According to the consulting firm, lower cost generation in northern Alberta will most likely profit from rolled-in costs over southern generation because Alberta's main export line is in the south and transmission is limited in the north-south power corridor.Although Optimum Energy believes an agreement can be reached, an intervener noted, "Organizing the schedule is like herding cats, or better said, lions and Siberian tigers."
