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.

Court Ruling May Boost TXU Stranded Cost Recovery
LCG, Aug. 31, 2000A partial ruling yesterday by a Texas court could nearly quadruple the amount of stranded costs eligible for securitization by TXU Electric Co., the company said in a news release. TXU Electric is an operating subsidiary of TXU Corp.The partial ruling by the Travis County Texas District Court reversed a portion of an order by the Public Utility Commission of Texas that used asset life for purposes of setting the value of strandable assets. That would essentially be depreciated book value based on straight-line depreciation over the life of an asset, which can be as long as 40 years.The court believed that such valuation did not conform to securitization provision of the Texas electric industry restructuring law enacted last year, saying a present value period based upon stranded cost and regulatory asset recovery periods authorized under the restructuring statute should have been used.TXU was careful to point out that the court did not set the valuation period to be used, but said that if the PUCT should use the alternative 12-year discounting period contained in its financing order, the amount to be securitized by TXU Electric would increase to $1.3 billion from $363 million.The District Court indicated that it intended to enter a written final judgment September 5. TXU Electric said it will probably appeal the District Court's final judgment directly to the Texas Supreme Court.
