Constellation Chief Strategy & Growth Officer Kathleen Barrón Testifies Before House Subcommittee on Energy

 

On Thursday, June 12, Constellation EVP and Chief Strategy & Growth Officer Kathleen Barrón detailed before Congress the critical role that nuclear power can play in meeting energy demand and winning the AI race while creating jobs and protecting grid security. She was joined by Pat Schweiger, Chief Technology Officer, Oklo, and Dr. Jeremy Renshaw, Executive Director AI & Quantum, Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI).

Delivering testimony as part of a House Science Committee Energy Subcommittee hearing titled “Powering Demand: Nuclear Solutions for AI”, Barrón emphasized how nuclear energy is well positioned to power AI infrastructure due to its reliability and clean energy profile and how Constellation is leading the charge through major investments in plant re-licensing, uprates and restarts as well as through long-term agreements with the world’s largest technology companies. She also covered how federal tax policy and regulatory clarity are critical to sustaining and growing those investments.
