LCG, June 29, 2026--Constellation announced on June 26 that it has filed license renewal applications with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to extend for 20 years the operations of Ginna Clean Energy Center and Nine Mile Point Unit 1 reactors in upstate New York to 2049. Constellation stated that it's decision to invest in these plants to extend their safe and reliable operations into mid-century demonstrates that New York State's renewal of its Zero Emissions Credit (ZEC) program is working as intended. Furthermore, Constellation stated that maintaining its nuclear fleet is estimated to save New Yorkers $50 billion and sustain reliable emissions-free generation resources to serve increasing electricity demands.

Florida Committee Grapples with Electric Dereg
LCG, Jan. 19, 2001Florida Gov. Jeb Bush's Florida Energy 2020 Study Commission, due to place its recommendations before the governor next month, yesterday debated a proposal to allow out-of-state companies sell power to the state's utilities, the Miami Herald reported this morning.The paper said that state lawmaker are likely to take up the issue when the state legislature convenes in March, but Florida is unlikely to see retail electric competition soon. Groundwork could be laid for competition at the wholesale level, though.Some panel members questioned the urgency of even wholesale competition. "What's the rush?" asked Sandra Morthan, a former Florida secretary of state.In a meeting with the Herald's editorial board on Thursday, Bush said California's experience underscores the importance of proceeding speedily but carefully with deregulation in Florida. "It will require an act unknown in Tallahassee, which is to think and plan ahead of the crisis point," Bush said, adding later "The California thing should speed us up rather than slow us down."Bush said Florida's growing demand for energy will likely outstrip supply in less than 10 years, and perhaps as soon as in 8 years. It takes about five years for a new plant to come on line, he said, adding that deregulation of the state's wholesale market should come only after steps are taken to increase capacity.In Florida, large industrial and commercial electricity users are clamoring for the right to purchase power in a competitive market, but the state's big utilities, Florida Power & Light Co., Tampa Electric Co. and Florida Power Corp. are staunchly defending their turf against out-of-staters.Duke Energy Corp. was rebuffed in its plans to build a merchant power plant in New Smyrna Beach, but that hasn't stopped Calpine Corp. and others from planning such generators in Florida. The utilities don't want to see that happen.Florida's investor-owned utilities say merchant plants aren't necessary, the Herald said. FPL, for one, says the combination of existing plants and new construction will serve the needs of its customers for years to come."There is no need for hasty changes," FPL President Paul Evanson said last month. "Indeed, if you were to change nothing about the way the system presently operates today, the system would continue to work well and Floridians would continue to benefit from abundant, low-cost, reliable electric power."
