Following Constellation Energy’s announcement of a 20-year power purchase agreement with Microsoft to launch the Crane Clean Energy Center (CCEC) and restart Three Mile Island (TMI) Unit 1, Sen. Lynda Schlegel Culver (R-27) expressed excitement and optimism about the news.
“It is exciting to hear that Constellation Energy has agreed with Microsoft to restart TMI Unit 1,” Culver said. “This investment will have a huge impact on the immediate community, the region, and the entire commonwealth. Investments in Pennsylvania’s energy capacity will make us more attractive for industries looking to expand. It’s simple: investments in Pennsylvania energy create new jobs with family-sustaining wages.”
The announcement states that CCEC expects to be online by 2028.
“Nuclear generation produces clean, carbon-free, and sustainable energy,” Culver said. “Expansions in nuclear energy will strengthen grid reliability, diversify Pennsylvania’s energy portfolio, and enable us to be the top energy exporter in the nation.”
