Notes

The Quad Cities Generating Station in Illinois is one of Constellation's major nuclear assets supplying power under corporate PPAs. The plant is one of several Constellation nuclear facilities benefiting from the nuclear renaissance driven by hyperscaler demand. Constellation operates approximately 21,000 MW of carbon-free nuclear capacity across 21 plants in 12 states — making it the largest US nuclear generator and the most important single company in the US nuclear renaissance narrative.
