Constellation’s $1.6B plan to bring nuclear back to Three Mile Island—now called the Crane Clean Energy Center—has cleared a major hurdle. FERC is allowing Constellation to transfer 760 MW of Capacity Interconnection Rights from its Eddystone plant to Crane. (Previously, PJM said Crane couldn’t connect to the grid until 2031 due to needed transmission upgrades.)
Need for nuclear: The revamped facility will power Microsoft data centers, and it could become the country’s first fully revived nuclear plant.
