BALTIMORE (June 23, 2025) — Constellation, the nation’s largest producer of clean energy, applauds Governor Kathy Hochul’s announcement of New York’s solicitation to add one gigawatt of nuclear energy to the state’s power grid.
“This announcement from Governor Hochul highlights the essential role of nuclear power in delivering clean, reliable electricity to New Yorkers while supporting long-term grid stability and affordability,” said David Dardis, EVP Chief Legal and Policy Officer, Constellation.“ It is yet another recognition of nuclear energy’s critical role in achieving the nation’s leading clean energy goals. We look forward to working with the Governor and state leaders to ensure nuclear energy continues to power economic growth and a clean, affordable and reliable energy future for New York.”
New York has already demonstrated leadership in supporting the continued operation of Constellation’s three upstate nuclear facilities, which produce more than 20 percent of New York’s electricity, account for nearly half the state’s clean electricity, power millions of households and businesses and employ more than 1,700 full-time employees in family-sustaining jobs.
In January 2025, the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority joined Constellation on a grant proposal to the U.S. Department of Energy to support the company’s efforts to seek an early site permit from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for one or more advanced nuclear reactors at the Nine Mile Point Clean Energy Center in Oswego, New York.
