Strengthening energy independence, meeting growing customer demand and winning the AI race all start with preserving and expanding America’s largest source of reliable, emissions-free power.
At CERAWeek 2025, Constellation drove home the fact that the most immediate and affordable way to increase nuclear energy on the grid is by extending the life of our existing plants, upgrading their output and restarting recently closed facilities. Here are a few of the highlights.
Constellation CEO Joseph Dominguez joined S&P Global’s Philippe Frangules and spoke to how maintaining a reliable, clean grid while adapting to the rising demand from AI will require the energy industry to explore a range of opportunities and lean into an “all of the above” approach. From supporting the existing nuclear fleet and establishing repeatable advanced reactor designs to building out renewables, storage and carbon sequestration solutions, both innovation and investment will be key in securing America's reliable energy future.
With always-on, zero-emission power in high demand, Constellation Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy & Growth Officer Kathleen Barrón explains why extending the life of America’s existing nuclear fleet is “the real gamechanger.”
On this panel, Constellation Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Dan Eggers emphasized that strong collaboration between industry stakeholders will be crucial to supporting current infrastructure and developing innovative solutions to meet the state's future energy needs. He also spoke to how existing nuclear sites present the best location for new advanced reactors due to land availability, access to water and the fact that plant communities already embrace nuclear power.
