Constellation is collaborating with Microsoft on the development of an energy matching technology to match a customer's power needs with local carbon-free energy sources. The real-time, data-driven carbon accounting solution will use hour-by-hour regional tracking giving customers clearer and more accurate data on their emissions impact and help to achieve zero-carbon goals, the company said.

The new company, based in Baltimore, Maryland, began trading this week on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “CEG.”
Exelon announced last February that it had begun work to separate its utility businesses from its competitive power generation and customer-facing energy businesses.
In a press release announcing the separation, Constellation said it is exploring growth opportunities that build on its core businesses and capitalise on the expanding demand for carbon-free energy, including potential acquisition of nuclear plants or other clean energy assets, creating clean hydrogen using its nuclear fleet, and introducing new products and services for business customers.

The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff has approved Exelon Generation Company’s application for an additional 20 years of operation for the Peach Bottom-2 and -3 nuclear power units in Pennsylvania.
The renewed licences authorise reactor operation from 60 to 80 years.
The NRC approved initial licence renewals of 20 years for both units in May 2003, with Unit 2 licensed to operate until 8 August 2033 and Unit 3 until 2 July 2034. Those dates have now been extended by 20 years. The new Peach Bottom-2 subsequent licence expires on 8 August 2053 and the Peach Bottom-3 licence on 2 July, 2054.
Both units are 1,308-MW boiling water reactors. Peach Bottom-2 began commercial operation in July 1974 and Peach Bottom-3 in December 1974.

US utility Exelon Corporation is to extend the life of the two-unit Peach Bottom NPP in Pennsylvania for 20 years, the company said in a statement. Exelon said it will notify the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in the coming weeks of its intent to file the formal application in 2018, with a decision expected by 2020 or 2021. The current operating licences for Peach Bottom-2 and -3 will expire in 2033 and 2034. If the extensions are approved, the units will remain in commercial operation until 2053 and 2054, giving them 80 years of operating service. The plant is owned 50-50 by Exelon and Public Service Electric and Gas and operated by Exelon.
