Constellation Energy announced on October 27, 2026, that the U.S. Department of Energy had issued a conditional loan commitment of up to 5 billion U.S. dollars for nuclear uprates across its fleet. The company said the potential financing could accelerate projects designed to increase output from existing plants.

According to the company announcement, the program covers potential work at eight facilities in Illinois, Maryland and Pennsylvania. The sites are Braidwood, Byron, Clinton, Dresden, LaSalle and Quad Cities in Illinois, Calvert Cliffs in Maryland, and Limerick in Pennsylvania.

Existing plants provide expansion path

The proposed uprates could add nearly 1.1 gigawatts of nuclear generating capacity without constructing entirely new power stations or transmission corridors. Constellation described uprates as a faster and more cost-effective way to increase dependable electricity production from existing assets.

The company said recent 20-year agreements with Google and Amazon have already encouraged more than 7 billion U.S. dollars of private investment for approximately 1,080 megawatts of additional nuclear capacity. A separate agreement with Meta supports a 30-megawatt expansion at the Clinton Clean Energy Center in Illinois.

Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Joe Dominguez said the conditional commitment could help the company move faster, add reliable power to the grid and strengthen energy security. Energy Secretary Chris Wright said the projects would support more affordable, reliable and secure electricity, according to the announcement.

Financing remains conditional

The commitment is not final financing. Constellation said it remains subject to due diligence, negotiations over definitive financing documents and other applicable conditions. The announcement also does not represent a final decision to proceed with every potential uprate or facility listed in the program.
