Nuclear Power Extension Push in Upstate NY

Constellation is pushing hard to extend the licenses of two critical nuclear plants in Upstate New York—R. E. Ginna and Nine Mile Point—until 2049, arguing they supply nearly half the state’s clean energy and generate billions in tax revenue. CEO Joe Dominguez credits Governor Hochul and state regulators for recognizing their value, stressing that keeping these zero-emission facilities online will save New Yorkers $50 billion and sustain local economies. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is now reviewing the request, a decision that could reshape New York’s energy future for decades.
