(Photo: Business Wire)\nReleased today, the annual Benchmarking Air Emissions of the 100 Largest Electric Power Producers in the United States report showed that the next cleanest company among the group of 20 had more than four-and-a-half times the rate of carbon dioxide emissions (lbCO2e/MWh) as Constellation. With more than 23,000 megawatts of clean generating capacity, Constellation’s fleet of nuclear, solar, wind and hydro plants produce about 10% of the nation’s carbon-free energy. Nearly 90% of Constellation’s annual energy output comes from carbon-free sources and the company has set a goal to produce 95% carbon-free electricity by 2030 and 100% by 2040.\n\n\n“After this year of record-shattering weather, it is clear that all industries must move faster to reduce emissions and lay the foundation for our clean energy future,” said Joe Dominguez, president and CEO of Constellation. “As we transition to a clean grid, we must ensure the lights stay on in every hour of every day, and nuclear energy is the only clean energy resource that can operate around the clock in all weather extremes. Backed by the unmatched reliability of our nuclear fleet, we are continuously seeking ways to increase our clean generation capacity, while helping customers achieve their own sustainability goals through innovations such as clean hydrogen and hourly carbon-free energy matching.”\n\n\nThe emissions report benchmarks key air pollutant emissions -- including nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon diox...
