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.
Constellation filed the license renewal requests with the NRC on June 17 for Ginna and on March 25 for Nine Mile Point Unit 1. Nine Mile Point Unit 2 is currently licensed to operate until 2046. Constellation's license renewal applications of the two of its nuclear reactors in upstate New York have initiated a comprehensive review by the NRC of the reactors' maintenance plans, plant equipment and safety systems.
In upstate New York, Constellation's nuclear fleet is comprised of three plants: (i) the Ginna Clean Energy Center in Ontario (near Rochester), a single-unit plant with a capacity of 576 MW, (ii) the Fitzpatrick Clean Energy Center in Oswego, a single-unit plant with a capacity of 842 MW, (iii) the Nine Mile Point Clean Energy Center in Oswego, a dual-unit plant with a combined capacity of 1,907 MW.
The president and CEO of Constellation said, "We commend Governor Hochul and the Public Service Commission for recognizing the unmatched safe, reliable, zero-emission power our upstate nuclear fleet delivers and for taking actions to keep these key assets running. Constellation's four upstate nuclear units provide nearly half of the state's clean power, support thousands of family-sustaining jobs and generate millions in local tax revenue."
New York's renewal of the ZEC program is estimated to deliver $50 billion in ratepayer savings by 2050, contribute $38 billion to New York's economy, secure 14,000 good-paying, local jobs for decades to come, and preserve $10 billion in tax revenue for the state.
