Constellation Energy Corporation has received regulatory approval from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission $(NRC)$ to renew the operating licenses for its Clinton and Dresden nuclear facilities in Illinois. The 20-year license extensions will allow Clinton to operate until 2047 and Dresden until mid-century, contingent on each plant's financial viability. This move preserves more than 2,200 jobs and is expected to generate $8.1 billion in federal, state, and local tax revenues. The approval supports continued investment in clean, reliable energy for Illinois and follows a significant agreement with Meta that helps secure the financial future of the Clinton facility after the expiration of the state's Zero Emission Credit program in 2027.
