Constellation awarded more than $1B in combined contracts by GSA

Constellation announced it has been awarded more than $1B in combined contracts by the U.S. General Services Administration to supply power to more than 13 government agencies and perform energy savings and conservation measures at five GSA-owned facilities in the National Capital Region. Constellation’s retail subsidiaries will provide the services to the GSA. Under a 10-year, $840M contract, “the largest in GSA history,” Constellation will supply the GSA with more than 1 million megawatt hours annually, beginning in 2025. A portion of the power will come from investments Constellation will make to increase plant output, known as “uprates.” Joe Dominguez, Constellation President and CEO, said: “For many decades, Constellation’s nuclear fleet has provided carbon-free, reliable, American-made energy to millions of families and institutions. Frustratingly, however, nuclear energy was excluded from many corporate and government sustainable energy procurements. Not anymore. This agreement is another powerful example of how things have changed. Under this agreement, the United States government joins Microsoft and other entities to support continued investment in reliable nuclear energy that will allow Constellation to relicense and extend the lives of these critical assets. In combination with the Crane restart announced previously, Constellation and its partners will add approximately 1,100 MWs of 24/7 clean energy by 2028, enough energy to power over one million homes.”
