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.

Fudging the Numbers Made Cal Power Auction Look Good
LCG, Jan. 26, 2001When California Gov.Gray Davis announced that the average bid received by the state's Water Resources Department for electric power contracts was 6.9 cents per kilowatt-hour, he took the surprisingly low price as a sign that "we are on the right track."It now turns out that 6.9 cents was not the average price, but what the governor's office calls a "weighted average." With only a little more candor, it might be termed a "lightened average." Yesterday, the governor's office said the $69 per megawatt-hour "average" didn't take into account power that would be delivered during periods when it was needed most.Periods of peak demand represent a lot of the waking hours in California, and anywhere else. The 6.9 cent figure did not include power that would be delivered between noon and 8:00 p.m. in the summer and between 5:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. in the winter.A spokesman in the governor's office insisted there was no attempt to mislead anyone. "We're not throwing out those other bids," he said, "it's just that they're not letting that stuff out."They had better let that stuff back in. California is expected to be even shorter on power this coming summer than it was last year. So far this winter, there have been two feeble storms in the state, and the reservoirs behind 14,000 megawatts of hydroelectric capacity are pretty empty.The "weighted average" may have allowed the governor's office to paint a rosy picture, but it was only rosy for a day.
