While wildfires, hurricanes and extreme heat battered Americans from coast to coast during the hottest summer in Earth’s recorded history, Constellation’s carbon-free nuclear units ran nearly 100% of the time, powering more than 15 million homes and businesses.
Constellation’s 21 reactors at 12 sites from the Midwest to the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast operated at 99.4% during the months of June, July and August. That near-perfect reliability helped Constellation power the equivalent of 15 million average American homes through a growing number of extreme heat days– all without adding any harmful emissions to the environment.
