The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approved a waiver allowing Constellation Energy to transfer capacity interconnection rights from its Eddystone plant to the Three Mile Island Unit 1 reactor. This decision bypasses PJM Interconnection rules and enables the nuclear unit to deliver full power to the grid upon its planned 2027 restart. The transfer supports a long-term power purchase agreement with Microsoft for data center operations.

Constellation Energy will be able to transfer capacity interconnection rights, enabling the nuclear unit to potentially deliver all its power when it restarts, possibly before the end of 2027.

Constellation Energy's plans to restart the Crane nuclear power plant — formerly Three Mile Island Unit 1 — were boosted Monday when the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approved a waiver for the company from PJM Interconnection rules.

FERC approved Constellation's waiver request over the objections of PJM's independent market monitor.

Under the decision, Constellation will be able to transfer 760 MW of Capacity Interconnection Rights, or CIRs, from its Eddystone power plant near Philadelphia to the Crane unit. The transfer will increase the amount of electricity the nuclear unit can deliver to the grid.
