Reliability and Resiliency

Grid Reliability

A reliable grid ensures that the electricity we use in our homes and buildings is always available when we need it. Reliability is critical to the U.S.’ economic stability, energy security and climate resilience. Constellation advocates for policies that increase reliability, promote market-based solutions and incentivize the development of new resources and the maintenance of existing generators.

Delivering Shared Benefits Through Contracted Loads 

Contracting loads with existing generation resources optimizes energy use and minimizes the need for costly and time-consuming grid-infrastructure upgrades. In addition to these benefits, contracting new load with existing generation resources provides the financial stability of a long-term customer, which, for a nuclear generation facility, can help avoid early retirement and enable NRC license extensions and potential uprates. Discover more about how contracted loads can revolutionize energy consumption and contribute to a sustainable future.

Nuclear  

Nuclear Preservation

Nuclear power provides clean, reliable, always-on energy.  Preserving existing nuclear plants is critical for a reliable, secure and clean energy future. To support continued operation, market and policy mechanisms are essential for protecting high-paying jobs, supporting communities and maintaining the benefits provided by the nation’s most reliable and largest source of clean electricity.
