Constellation has applied for a license renewal with the NRC to extend the operation of its Dresden Clean Energy Center in Morris, Illinois, through 2051. This move aims to continue providing reliable, carbon-free energy, supporting the regional economy, and addressing the climate crisis. The Dresden facility, powering nearly 1.4 million homes, is a significant part of Constellation's efforts to maintain its nuclear fleet, which is crucial for America's clean energy output. Public support for nuclear energy has grown due to its reliability and carbon-free benefits, especially highlighted during severe weather events. The Climate and Equitable Jobs Act and federal nuclear production tax credit have provided policy support, with the potential extension enabling significant additional carbon-free electricity generation in Illinois.
