Shivery, the companys president said, adding "Constellation Power Source is looking for the best fit, where the availability of additional energy will meet the needs of the community, the market, and our company."

The company also recently announced plans to construct a 250 megawatt peaking plant near Bristol, Va., and a 300 megawatt natural gas-fired power plant in the University Park suburb of Chicago.
