Annual air emissions report also confirms Constellation’s rate of carbon dioxide emissions is more than four-and-half times lower than that of its next closest peer
For the 10th consecutive year, Constellation (Nasdaq: CEG) is the nation’s largest producer of clean, carbon-free energy and boasts the lowest rate of carbon dioxide emissions among the 20 largest private, investor-owned power producers in the United States, according to an independent analysis based on publicly reported 2021 air emissions data.

Released today, the annual Benchmarking Air Emissions of the 100 Largest Electric Power Producers in the United States report showed that the next cleanest company among the group of 20 had more than four-and-a-half times the rate of carbon dioxide emissions (lbCO2e/MWh) as Constellation. With more than 23,000 megawatts of clean generating capacity, Constellation’s fleet of nuclear, solar, wind and hydro plants produce about 10% of the nation’s carbon-free energy. Nearly 90% of Constellation’s annual energy output comes from carbon-free sources and the company has set a goal to produce 95% carbon-free electricity by 2030 and 100% by 2040.
“After this year of record-shattering weather, it is clear that all industries must move faster to reduce emissions and lay the foundation for our clean energy future,” said Joe Dominguez, president and CEO of Constellation. “As we transition to a clean grid, we must ensure the lights stay on in every hour of every day, and nuclear energy is the only clean energy resource that can operate around the clock in all weather extremes. Backed by the unmatched reliability of our nuclear fleet, we are continuously seeking ways to increase our clean generation capacity, while helping customers achieve their own sustainability goals through innovations such as clean hydrogen and hourly carbon-free energy matching.”
The emissions report benchmarks key air pollutant emissions -- including nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide and mercury -- from the 100 largest U.S. power producers. It relies upon publicly reported generation and emissions data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and has established a clear record of the sector’s environmental performance.
Per the report, zero-carbon resources were the leading source of power generation in the United States in 2022, providing approximately 41% of the nation’s electricity. Nuclear energy led the way, comprising 44% of that total and 18% of all U.S. generation.
Constellation is investing billions of dollars in projects to lower emissions across the company and for its customers:
