Constellation Energy has secured 20-year license extensions for its Clinton and Dresden nuclear plants, approved by the U.S. nuclear regulator. The company will invest over $370 million to enhance efficiency and reliability. The extensions will allow Clinton to operate until 2047 and Dresden until 2049 and 2051, preserving jobs and tax revenue. This move aligns with increased demand for nuclear power driven by AI technologies and industry electrification. A deal with Meta ensures continued operation of a reactor in Illinois for 20 years.
