What happened
Constellation Energy operates the largest nuclear fleet in the U.S., totaling 22 GW, which is roughly twice the capacity of its nearest competitor. The company is securing deals with hyperscalers like Microsoft and Meta to meet soaring energy demands. Constellation Energy's appeal is supported by its capacity factor, which ensures reliable power, and federal tax credits through 2032.
