Constellation's Three Mile Island nuclear restart gets boost with FERC waiver
- Constellation Energy’s ambitious $1.6 billion plan to restart the shuttered TMI 1 nuclear plant received a significant boost from the FERC.
- FERC approved a waiver allowing Constellation to transfer capacity interconnection rights from its retiring Eddystone power plant to the nuclear unit, now renamed the Crane Clean Energy Center.
- This decision circumvents multi-year grid upgrade delays and helps pave the way for the reactor to fully deliver its 835-MW output to Microsoft by late 2027.
