Promoting Grid Reliability
Constellation is dedicated to operational excellence and environmental stewardship. Our diverse portfolio of energy sources, clean energy generation and investments in new technologies all support long-term grid reliability. This reliability is essential to driving the economy, preventing financial losses from power outages and helping sustain U.S. businesses and households.
Energy security relies on a consistent power supply that supports critical infrastructure, healthcare facilities, emergency services, financial networks and national security with uninterrupted electricity. Climate change also poses increasing risks that demand a resilient energy system. Constellation recognizes these challenges and advocates for market structures that prioritize reliability.
We advocate for market reforms that encourage investments in highly reliable power generation. This includes expediting interconnection of resilient generation, compensating producers based on performance and rewarding them for operating under peak-stress conditions. These solutions promote grid resiliency, helping ensure our energy system can withstand extreme events and enhance the climate resilience of the communities we serve.
Many federal, state and local governments have instituted policies promoting low-carbon energy sources. We support updating market-based reliability rules to align more closely with low-carbon objectives.
