Item 8.01. Other Events

On May 31, 2023, Constellation Energy Corporation (“Constellation”) reported that its wholly owned subsidiary, Constellation Energy Generation, LLC (“CEG”), entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement with Texas Genco GP, LLC and Texas Genco LP, LLC, subsidiaries of NRG Energy, Inc. (“NRG”), for the acquisition of NRG’s forty-four percent ownership interest in the South Texas Project Electric Generating Station (“STP”). On November 1, 2023, following the receipt of Nuclear Regulatory Commission approval of the license transfer application between NRG and CEG, and the satisfaction of all other closing conditions, the parties closed the transaction.

On August 1, 2023, Constellation and CEG reported that the City of San Antonio, Texas, acting by and through the City Public Service Board of San Antonio (“CPS”), filed a lawsuit claiming the existence of a right of first refusal that applied to the transaction contemplated by the Equity Purchase Agreement. Austin Energy intervened in the lawsuit claiming a similar right of first refusal. The ongoing legal proceeding did not prohibit NRG and CEG from consummating the transaction, and Constellation is working with all parties to reach a resolution to the matter.

A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Constellation’s stake represents approximately 1,100 megawatts of the plant’s output. The ownership transfer was approved on Oct 30 by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which was the final regulatory approval needed before closing the deal. “Growing our fleet of the nation’s best-run nuclear plants is at the heart of our growth strategy,” said Joe Dominguez, president and CEO of Constellation. “As the world is waking up to the immense value of nuclear power to address the climate crisis and maintain energy security, Constellation will continue to look for opportunities to expand our ownership of assets like STP. We look forward to working with our new co-owners and the plant’s team members to provide reliable, clean and affordable energy, as well as economic benefits to the people of Texas.” Constellation is now one of three owners with oversight of the South Texas Project Nuclear Operating Company (STPNOC), which will continue to operate the plant. Constellation also is working to reach a favorable resolution for all parties in the related litigation pending in Matagorda County, Texas.

2 One of the newest and largest nuclear plants in the U.S., STP has an exceptional track record for safety and reliability, generating enough carbon-free power for two million average homes. Constellation is an industry leader in operating nuclear plants safely, efficiently and reliably, with a fleetwide capacity factor of more than 94 percent over the past decade, or about 4 percent higher than the industry average. With this acquisition, Constellation’s owned nuclear assets are capable of powering the equivalent of more than 16 million average homes. Constellation has a strong and growing presence in Texas as an employer, taxpayer and significant provider of electricity and other services to the region. The company owns and operates 3,520 megawatts of natural gas-fired generation at its Colorado Bend II, Wolf Hollow II and Handley generating stations in Texas, in addition to 169 megawatts of wind energy at the Whitetail and Sendero wind projects. Constellation also is a supplier in Texas’ competitive retail energy market, supplying electricity, natural gas, energy efficiency and other services to approximately 200,000 residential and commercial customers statewide. The company and its more than 550 Texas employees donated $460,000 to nonprofit organizations across the state in 2022 and contributed 4,800 volunteer hours. Constellation also paid $33.6 million in state and local taxes in Texas last year. BofA Securities served as the exclusive financial advisor to Constellation and Sidley Austin LLP served as the lead transaction counsel to the company. # # # About Constellation A Fortune 200 company headquartered in Baltimore, Constellation Energy Corporation (Nasdaq: CEG) is the nation’s largest producer of clean, carbon-free energy and a leading supplier of energy products and services to businesses, homes, community aggregations and public sector customers across the continental United States, including three fourths of Fortune 100 companies. With annual output that is nearly 90% carbon-free, our hydro, wind and solar facilities paired with the nation’s largest nuclear fleet have the generating capacity to power the equivalent of more than 16 million average homes, providing about 10% of the nation’s clean energy. We are further accelerating the nation’s transition to a carbon-free future by helping our customers reach their sustainability goals, setting our own ambitious goal of achieving 100% carbon-free generation by 2040, and by investing in promising emerging technologies to eliminate carbon emissions across all sectors of the economy.
