Constellation's Three Mile Island Nuclear Restart Gets Boost With FERC Waiver By Ethan Howland of UtilityDive Constellation Energy’s plans to restart the Crane nuclear power plant - formerly, and better known as 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. Constellation Energy’s Three Mile Island nuclear power plant near Middletown, Pa. The company’s plans to restart the plant’s Unit 1 were boosted when the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approved a waiver for the company from PJM Interconnection rules on June 1, 2026. Constellation planned to retire two Eddystone units on May 31, 2025, but the Department of Energy has ordered the company to them to keep running under what the DOE has described as an emergency energy shortage. Under the DOE’s orders, the Eddystone units are not considered capacity resources, making their CIRs free to be transferred, according to Baltimore-based Constellation. Constellation’s $1.6 billion plan to restart the 835-MW Crane nuclear unit hit a snag when PJM determined that transmission upgrades were needed to safely deliver all the unit’s power to the grid. Those upgrades — including 765-kV and 500-kV projects — aren’t expected to be finished until December 2030 and could be delayed even longer, preventing full deliveries from the nuclear unit, which could restart in the second half of 2027 , Constellation said in its March 31 waiver request at FERC . Constellation’s request met FERC’s criteria for granting waivers, including that it solves a concrete ...

In this article RDDT META Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT The BlueSky logo is displayed on a mobile phone screen with its icon in back of it. Anadolu | Anadolu | Getty Images Bluesky, the social media platform that originated within Twitter, rose to prominence as a rival to the network after Elon Musk acquired the company and rebranded it as X. But, two years since its launch, the site has around just 10% of X's estimated global users. Bluesky's Chief Operating Officer Rose Wang told CNBC that the site saw its future not in rivalling X, but in taking inspiration from the online community forum Reddit . "The world is changing rapidly, and we're not trying to build what social used to be and get to parity," Wang told CNBC on the sidelines of SXSW in London on Wednesday. Wang said that Bluesky would move away from the "public square" style of feed of X or Threads, and will instead be "useful" as a discovery mechanism. "What we've learned through this process is that I think the public square is not the direction we want to go in. Essentially, I think it's useful as a discovery mechanism, but we're very inspired by companies like Reddit." she said. "A public square, where there's only a stage, and there's posters, like people on a stage and people who are watching, that is not social... we're in the medieval stages of the online world." Reddit launched in 2011 and billed itself as "the front page of the internet," offering "sub-Reddits" on a huge range of topics. It went public in 2024 and trades at around $170 a share. Bluesky CEO: I turned a Twitter research project into a rival company—'we've achieved what a lot of people said was impossible' Bluesky is built on an open-source AT Protocol, allowing developers to build apps, services, and communities with greater control over their content. Bluesky was initially founded within Twitter in 2019 and backed by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey , but it spun off in 2021. After Musk acquired Twitter in 2022, th...
