How Is Constellation Energy Advancing the Clean Energy Shift?

Constellation Energy Corporation CEG is benefiting from renewable energy options in several ways, primarily by expanding its portfolio of clean energy sources, attracting environmentally conscious customers and enhancing its reputation as a leader in the transition to a carbon-free future. 

While CEG is a major player in the nuclear energy sector, it is also expanding its presence in renewable energy markets. This diversification helps it remain competitive and resilient in a changing energy landscape. CEG is developing new offerings that allow smaller businesses to participate in renewable energy projects, overcoming barriers like minimum energy commitments and high credit standards.

Constellation Energy offers various renewable energy solutions like offsite renewables (CORe), on-site solar projects and emission-free energy certificates (EFECs). CORe allows businesses to purchase power from offsite renewable energy projects, like wind and solar farms. It also provides on-site solar solutions, which can help businesses manage energy costs and improve energy reliability.

Constellation Energy's commitment to renewable energy aligns with the growing global focus on reducing carbon emissions and combating climate change. CEG is actively working to expand its portfolio of clean energy resources, including nuclear, hydro, wind and solar. Nearly 90% of CEG’s annual energy output comes from carbon-free sources, and it has set a goal to produce 95% carbon-free electricity by 2030 and 100% by 2040.
