Nation’s largest producer of emissions-free,
reliable energy will supply electricity from nuclear energy and
other sources while delivering energy efficiency solutions
Constellation (Nasdaq: CEG), the nation’s largest producer of
clean, emissions-free, reliable energy, has been awarded more than
$1 billion in combined contracts by the U.S. General Services
Administration (GSA) to supply power to more than 13 government
agencies and perform energy savings and conservation measures at
five GSA-owned facilities in the National Capital Region.
Constellation’s retail subsidiaries will provide the services to
the GSA.
Under a 10-year, $840 million contract, the largest in GSA
history, Constellation will supply the GSA with more than 1 million
megawatt hours (MWh/yr) annually, beginning in 2025. A portion of
the power will come from investments Constellation will make to
increase plant output, known as “uprates.”
“For many decades, Constellation’s nuclear fleet has provided
carbon-free, reliable, American-made energy to millions of families
and institutions,” said Joe Dominguez, Constellation President and
CEO. “Frustratingly, however, nuclear energy was excluded from many
corporate and government sustainable energy procurements. Not
anymore. This agreement is another powerful example of how things
have changed. Under this agreement, the United States government
joins Microsoft and other entities to support continued investment
in reliable nuclear energy that will allow Constellation to
relicense and extend the lives of these critical assets. In
combination with the Crane restart announced previously,
Constellation and its partners will add approximately 1,100 MWs of
24/7 clean energy by 2028, enough energy to power over one million
homes.”
“This historic procurement locks in a cost-competitive, reliable
supply of nuclear energy over a 10-year period, accelerating
progress toward a carbon-free energy future while protecting
taxpayers against future price hikes,” said GSA Administrator Robin
Carnahan. “We’re demonstrating how the federal government can join
major corporate clean energy buyers in spurring new nuclear energy
capacity and ensuring a reliable, affordable supply of clean energy
for everyone.”
The energy will be supplied to the Architect of the Capitol, the
General Services Administration, the Social Security
Administration, the Army Corps of Engineers, the Department of
Veterans’ Affairs, the Department of Transportation, the U.S. Mint,
the U.S. Railroad Retirement Board, the National Archives and
Records Administration, the Federal Bureau of Prisons, the Federal
Reserve System, the National Park Service, the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration, and the Washington Metropolitan Area
Transit Authority, in locations the agencies own or operate in
Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Ohio.
Constellation was also awarded a $172 million Energy Savings
Performance Contract to perform energy savings and conservation
measures at five GSA-owned facilities in the National Capital
Region. The work implemented under the contract will include LED
lighting, weatherization, window inserts and replacements and new
and upgraded HVAC and building control equipment to improve energy
efficiency, decrease emissions and save on energy costs at the
Elijah Barrett Prettyman U.S. Courthouse, the William B. Bryant
Annex, the Orville Wright Federal Building and the Wilbur Wright
Federal Building all located in Washington, DC, and the Harvey W.
Wiley Federal Building in College Park, MD.
In addition, the four buildings located in Washington, DC, will
be converted from steam power to electricity through the
installation of electric boilers and heat pumps to meet the
buildings' heating requirements. The conversion upgrades will be
some of the most significant energy conservation measures being
undertaken as part of the project.
Project construction is scheduled to begin this month and will
continue for approximately 42 months. Constellation will provide
preventive maintenance services as well as ongoing training to GSA
personnel to help ensure the newly renovated facilities maximize
energy efficiency and cost-savings efforts.
