Constellation Seeks License Renewals for Two New York Units Through 2049June 26, 2026 11:06 AM
Business Wire Maintaining nuclear fleet will save New Yorkers $50 billion and sustain reliable emissions-free power amid rising demand Constellation (Nasdaq: CEG) has filed license renewal applications with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to extend the operations of Ginna Clean Energy Center and Nine Mile Point Unit 1 reactors in upstate New York to 2049. Constellation’s decision to invest in these plants to extend their safe and reliable operations into mid-century demonstrates that New York State’s renewal of its Zero Emissions Credit (ZEC) program is working as intended. “We commend Governor Hochul and the Public Service Commission for recognizing the unmatched safe, reliable, zero-emission power our upstate nuclear fleet delivers and for taking actions to keep these key assets running,” said Joe Dominguez, president and CEO of Constellation. “Constellation’s four upstate nuclear units provide nearly half of the state’s clean power, support thousands of family-sustaining jobs and generate millions in local tax revenue.” Renewal of the ZEC program is projected to deliver $50 billion in ratepayer savings by 2050, contribute $38 billion to New York’s economy, secure 14,000 good-paying, local jobs for decades to come, and preserve $10 billion in tax revenue for the state. “Extending the operational life of New York’s nuclear fleet is crucial — it’s the backbone of our energy future and a lifeline for working families across the state,” said Greg Lancette, International Representative, United Association of Union Plumbers, Fitters, Welders and Service Techs. “These plants fuel thousands of good-paying, union jobs that support families, strengthen local economies, and keep communities stable.” Constellation is the nation’s largest producer of reliable, emissions-free nuclear energy and it invests billions of dollars to maintain, modernize and operate its fleet at world-class standards of safety and performance. Constellation’s existing nuclear locations are also promising and logical sites for new nuclear development that offer existing infrastructure and operational expertise along with neighboring communities that understand and support nuclear power and the economic development opportunities it delivers. Constellation’s license renewal applications of two of its nuclear reactors in upstate New York have initiated a comprehensive review by the NRC of the reactors’ maintenance plans, plant equipment and safety systems. Constellation filed license renewal requests with the NRC on June 17 for Ginna and on March 25 for Nine Mile Point Unit 1. If approved, the units’ operating licenses would be extended 20 years, to 2049. Nine Mile Point Unit 2 is currently licensed to operate until 2046. Constellation’s nuclear fleet in upstate New York is comprised of: The Ginna Clean Energy Center in Ontario (near Rochester), a single unit plant that generates 576 megawatts The Fitzpatrick Clean Energy Center in Oswego, a single-unit plant that generates 842 megawatts The Nine Mile Point Clean Energy Center in Oswego, a dual-unit plant that generates 1,907 megawatts About Constellation Constellation Energy Corporation (Nasdaq: CEG), a Fortune 200 company headquartered in Baltimore, is the largest private-sector power producer in the world and the nation's largest producer of clean and reliable energy.

From the Lab to the Grid: General Fusion Signs a Framework to Bring Fusion Power to ItalyJune 26, 2026 8:50 AM
PR Newswire (US) Issued on behalf of General Fusion Inc.Days after reporting a key plasma-heating result, General Fusion announced a milestone-based framework agreement with Italian renewable-energy company Renexia to pursue the siting, development, and construction of commercial Magnetized Target Fusion power plants in Italy, as it moves toward going public on Nasdaq under the proposed symbol "GFUZ."NEW YORK, June 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Equity Insider News Commentary, There is a wide gap between working to prove a technology and building a business around it. On June 24, 2026, General Fusion Inc. ("General Fusion") took a visible step across that gap, announcing a framework agreement with Renexia S.p.A. to advance the commercial deployment of its fusion energy technology in Italy.Key TakeawaysGeneral Fusion Inc. and Renexia S.p.A. — a Toto Group company specializing in renewable energy — signed a framework agreement to advance the commercial deployment of General Fusion's Magnetized Target Fusion ("MTF") technology in Italy.The deal sets a milestone-based, multi-phase path — beginning with site evaluation and selection, then commercial opportunities, offtake agreements, permitting, and construction of one or more MTF power plants. Site-feasibility work is expected to begin immediately, while a definitive agreement for the first phase is negotiated.It is the company's second major announcement in days, following its Lawson Machine 26 ("LM26") compressional plasma-heating result, and highlights progress on the path towards commercial market development.The news lands as General Fusion prepares to go public via a proposed business combination with Spring Valley Acquisition Corp. III (Nasdaq: SVAC), with a shareholder vote set for July 6, 2026, and proposed Nasdaq tickers "GFUZ" / "GFUZW."A Deal About Deployment, Not Just PhysicsRenexia is a Toto Group company specializing in the development and operation of energy infrastructure, with a strong focus on renewable-energy projects — and, through its subsidiary US Wind, experience developing offshore wind on the U.S. East Coast. Crucially, Renexia is not a new acquaintance: it is already a member of General Fusion's Market Development Advisory Committee, the group that guides the design of a practical MTF power plant. The framework agreement deepens a multi-year relationship rather than starting a cold one.What the Agreement Actually Commits ToThe structure is deliberately staged. The agreement establishes a milestone-based framework covering the potential siting, development, funding, construction, and commissioning of one or more MTF power plants in Italy, with multiple phases each to be gated by its own definitive agreement. It begins with site evaluation and selection, then moves through the identification of commercial opportunities, offtake agreements, and permitting and construction. Collaborative work on site feasibility is expected to begin immediately, with further phase-one work expected to begin in 2026, subject to agreement on definitive terms.That phased, milestone-gated design is worth understanding clearly: a framework agreement is an agreement to work toward agreements. It is a meaningful commercial signal — a serious counterparty committing to evaluate real sites — but it is not a binding commitment to build a plant, and each subsequent phase depends on negotiating further definitive terms. For investors, the right way to read it is as an early step in a long deployment process, not a guaranteed power station."This agreement with Renexia represents another meaningful step toward exporting our practical fusion energy technology, developed in Canada, to the world," said General Fusion CEO Greg Twinney, noting that Renexia's role on General Fusion's Market Development Advisory Committee brings "valuable insight into the energy sector and what it takes to bring innovative technologies to market." Renexia CEO Riccardo Toto framed the rationale in market terms: "Energy demand is surging, and as Italy experiences high power costs, General Fusion's Magnetized Target Fusion has the potential to provide economical clean power."Why Italy, and Why NowItaly is a logical proving ground. The country carries some of the higher electricity prices in Europe, which sharpens the appeal of any technology promising economical, firm, carbon-free power, and it has clear decarbonization and energy-transition objectives the collaboration is explicitly intended to support. General Fusion's pitch has always been practicality — its MTF approach is designed to avoid superconducting magnets and high-powered lasers and to use existing, durable materials. A high-cost, decarbonizing European market is exactly where that "practical and economical" argument is meant to resonate.The timing also matters for the company's broader narrative. General Fusion designed, built, and began operating LM26 — the first MTF demonstration machine at what it calls a commercially relevant scale — in under two years, and is targeting technical milestones of 1 keV, 10 keV, and ultimately the Lawson criterion. Pairing technical progress with a commercial strategy is the one-two punch a pre-commercial energy company needs to show: the science is advancing, and customers are beginning to line up.How Investors Can Watch the ThemeBecause General Fusion is still private, the most direct way to track it is the merger vehicle, with the broader "deploying clean, firm power" theme as context. Four names frame that spectrum — though each carries its own risk profile and none is a proxy for General Fusion. Spring Valley Acquisition Corp. III (Nasdaq: SVAC) is the vehicle itself: General Fusion has agreed to combine with it, after which the company is expected to trade as "GFUZ." Spring Valley vehicles have raised roughly US$920 million across four IPOs and previously completed combinations with NuScale Power Corporation and Eagle Nuclear Energy Corp. Its securities carry the usual SPAC risks — the deal still requires a shareholder vote and customary approvals; with no certainty it closes on the expected timeline or at all.Enel S.p.A. (Borsa Italiana: ENEL) (OTC: ENLAY) is the Italian-deployment reference point: Italy's largest utility and one of the world's biggest power producers, it embodies the kind of large-scale clean-power operator that ultimately builds, owns, and runs generation in the electricity market General Fusion and Renexia are targeting. (Note that this Italian-utility reference, Enel, is distinct from oil-and-gas major Eni, which holds a separate fusion investment.) Constellation Energy (Nasdaq: CEG), the largest private-sector power producer in the U.S. and its biggest nuclear operator, illustrates the offtake model that deployment frameworks like this one may choose to rely on.GE Vernova (NYSE: GEV) rounds out the set as the build-out enabler. The power-and-grid equipment leader reported a strong first quarter of 2026 and raised its full-year guidance amid surging demand for generation and electrification equipment — a reminder that regardless of whoever wins the race to new clean baseload, the companies that supply turbines, grid hardware, and electrification systems stand to benefit. Together these names map a theme — deploying firm, clean power at scale — in which General Fusion is trying to claim a differentiated, fusion-based place.What to Watch NextThree markers stand out. First, whether the immediate site-evaluation work leads to a phase-one definitive agreement in 2026. Second, the progression of milestone-gated phases — commercial opportunities, offtake, permitting — each of which must be separately negotiated. Third, the completion of the business combination with Spring Valley, the July 6, 2026, shareholder vote that is the next step to determining whether General Fusion becomes a publicly traded company, along with the required regulatory approvals. A framework agreement is a starting line; the value is in how many of those subsequent milestones actually convert.SIGNAL OVER NOISESignal over noise.

Walmart Secures Nuclear Power Supply Deal With Constellation for Illinois Operations (WMT)June 23, 2026 9:00 AM
IH Market News Retail Giant Signs Long-Term Agreement for Carbon-Free Electricity Constellation (NASDAQ:CEG) and Walmart (NYSE:WMT) have entered into a long-term power purchase agreement that will provide emissions-free electricity from Constellation’s Dresden Clean Energy Center in Illinois. The arrangement marks Walmart’s first agreement tied directly to nuclear energy and is believed to be one of the first long-term nuclear power purchase agreements between a major U.S. retailer and a nuclear generation facility. Agreement Covers 176 Megawatts of Capacity Under the deal, Walmart will secure approximately 176 megawatts of wholesale electricity supply from the Dresden facility in Morris, Illinois. The agreement includes 30 megawatts of additional generating capacity that will be created through efficiency improvements at the plant. Walmart will receive energy, capacity and associated environmental attributes through two separate 15-year contract periods beginning in 2029 and 2030. Capacity Expansion Supports New Distribution Infrastructure The additional power generated through the plant upgrades is expected to help support Walmart’s new technology-focused perishable goods distribution centre currently being developed in Belvidere, Illinois. The efficiency enhancements, known as uprates, increase electricity output from existing nuclear reactors without requiring the construction of new generating units. Dresden Facility Positioned for Long-Term Operations Constellation’s Dresden Clean Energy Center remains licensed to operate until 2049 and 2051 following a licence extension granted in late 2025. According to the company, the facility supports more than 1,100 jobs and plays a significant role in Illinois’ electricity supply. Executives Highlight Energy Security and Sustainability Benefits Management from both companies said the agreement aligns with long-term energy reliability and sustainability goals. “This agreement reflects long-term stewardship of critical infrastructure, the communities it serves, and the energy system that powers American growth,” said Jim McHugh, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer at Constellation. Walmart also emphasized the role of reliable clean energy in supporting future operations. Shayne Wahlmeier, SVP Energy at Walmart US, said the agreement “allows us to support new operations in Illinois while advancing our strategy in a way that prioritizes affordable, reliable, and clean energy.” Growing Corporate Interest in Nuclear Energy The deal highlights increasing interest among large corporations in securing long-term access to carbon-free power as electricity demand rises and sustainability targets become more ambitious. Walmart currently operates approximately 175 stores and clubs across Illinois and employs more than 55,000 people in the state. Constellation said its Illinois generation portfolio produces enough electricity to power more than eight million homes, making it one of the largest sources of clean energy in the region.

From Cancer Drugs to Kilowatts: A NASDAQ Company's Bet on the AI Power CrunchJune 12, 2026 8:59 AM
PR Newswire (Canada) Issued on behalf of LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings, Inc.One of the most dramatic corporate reinventions of 2026 is taking a clinical-stage biotech and rebuilding it as a power-infrastructure company — aimed squarely at the electricity shortage throttling the AI boom.BOCA RATON, Fla., June 12, 2026 /CNW/ -- USA News Group News Commentary — Corporate reinventions are common; total transformations are rare. Companies pivot products, enter adjacent markets, rebrand. What they rarely do is change what business they are in entirely. Yet that is precisely the bet LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: LIXT) is making — walking away from its origins as a clinical-stage cancer-drug developer to become, if its plans hold, a pure-play power-infrastructure company aimed at one of the most acute shortages in the modern economy: electrical capacity for an AI-hungry world. Companies mentioned: LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: LIXT), GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV), Vistra Corp. (NYSE: VST), Talen Energy Corporation (NASDAQ: TLN), Constellation Energy Corporation (NASDAQ: CEG)The mechanism is an acquisition. LIXTE has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of NOMAD Transportable Power Systems, Inc., a company it calls the market leader in deployable, utility-grade battery energy storage and the first to bring a mobile, utility-grade 1 megawatt battery system to market. On closing, LIXTE intends to rename itself NOMAD Power Solutions and reposition as a "power availability platform." For a company that, just months ago, was best known for a cancer compound called LB-100, it is about as complete a metamorphosis as public markets ever see.How a Cancer-Drug Company Ended Up in the Power BusinessThe transformation did not come out of nowhere. In June 2026, LIXTE publicly announced a strategic shift toward AI energy infrastructure and brought veteran energy investor Stuart D. Porter — founder of Denham Capital, which has overseen more than $12 billion of capital across energy sectors — onto its board to lead the effort. The company simultaneously said it would seek a buyer for its clinical-stage oncology and med-tech operations.That diagnosis is backed by sobering data. The North American Electric Reliability Corporation projected in early 2026 that summer peak demand would rise by 224 gigawatts over the following decade and warned of elevated shortfall risk in several grid regions; in April 2026 it issued a rare Level 3 Alert directing grid operators to address reliability risks tied to large computational loads. Roughly 2.3 terawatts of generation and storage capacity sit waiting in U.S. interconnection queues, and development timelines in many areas have stretched from about two years to five to seven years or longer. The NOMAD acquisition is LIXTE's attempt to turn that systemic problem into a business.What NOMAD Brings to the TableNOMAD's core idea is deployability. Where a permanent battery installation is a fixed asset bolted to a specific site after years of permitting, NOMAD's system is transportable equipment — utility-grade capacity that can be rolled in and energized without the land-use entitlements, environmental reviews, interconnection-queue waits, and local moratoria that bog down permanent projects. The company frames this permitting and deployment edge as one of the most underappreciated drivers of its adoption, and as a defining feature of the deployable utility-grade category it pioneered.The platform itself is built to institutional standards: a UL 9540-validated architecture, lithium iron phosphate chemistry chosen for thermal stability and long life, integrated fire detection and suppression, and a 24/7 network operations center providing AI-assisted monitoring and fleet optimization. NOMAD says it serves investor-owned utilities, electric cooperatives, municipal utilities, industrial operators, government agencies and emerging AI applications, and that its manufacturing capacity is set to scale from roughly 2.5 gigawatts in 2026 to about 3.5 gigawatts in 2027. The company reports revenue growth of approximately 175% in 2025, with management projecting roughly 135% in 2026 and more than 285% in 2027 — projections, it should be stressed, rather than audited figures.The Company It Will Keep: Public Power-Infrastructure PeersIf LIXTE completes its transformation, it will be a small newcomer in a field that includes some of the largest and best-performing names in the market — companies the AI-power boom has already re-rated dramatically. The comparison cuts both ways: it shows the scale of the opportunity and the magnitude of the competition.GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) has become the bellwether of the AI-power buildout. The grid-and-generation equipment maker — spun out of General Electric in 2024 — has seen its stock climb sharply as data-center demand reignites orders for turbines and grid hardware, reporting a total backlog around $150 billion and gas-turbine capacity reportedly reserved through 2030. GE Vernova operates at a scale orders of magnitude beyond an emerging deployable-power company, but it defines the macro trend NOMAD is attaching itself to: the world cannot build electrical infrastructure fast enough for AI.Vistra Corp. (NYSE: VST) represents the independent-power-producer side of the same story. As one of the largest competitive power generators in the United States, Vistra has been a primary beneficiary of surging data-center electricity demand, and its fleet of dispatchable generation has made it a favored way for investors to play the structural rise in consumption. It illustrates how much value the market is assigning to entities that can actually deliver firm power to large loads — the exact problem NOMAD addresses at a smaller, more mobile scale.Talen Energy Corporation (NASDAQ: TLN) has become a marquee name in the data-center power trade, known for landmark arrangements to supply electricity directly to hyperscale computing campuses. Talen demonstrates the premium investors place on power producers that can lock in long-term deals with the AI infrastructure operators racing to secure capacity — a reminder that, in this market, a guaranteed supply of electricity has become a strategic asset in itself.Constellation Energy Corporation (NASDAQ: CEG) rounds out the group as the largest producer of carbon-free electricity in the United States, with a nuclear-heavy fleet increasingly tied to data-center power-purchase agreements. Constellation shows how even the most established generators are being repriced around AI demand and the scramble for reliable, around-the-clock power. These companies are referenced to illustrate the sector and do not imply any partnership, endorsement, affiliation, or comparable financial performance; they are far larger and more established than LIXTE, which would enter the space as an early-stage, transforming platform.The Recurring-Revenue VisionManagement's ambition extends beyond selling boxes of batteries. The company has signaled it intends to build a broader platform with recurring revenue — fleet monitoring and maintenance, Energy-as-a-Service deployments, software-enabled asset management, capacity leasing, and strategic infrastructure partnerships. The model it describes is capital-efficient, leaning on partnerships with infrastructure investors and equipment-financing providers to fund deployment. If executed, that mix of equipment sales plus recurring services is what could turn a hardware vendor into a durable infrastructure business — the difference, in valuation terms, between a manufacturer and a platform.Stu Porter, the LIXTE director leading the transformation, drew the analogy explicitly: "Much as cloud computing transformed access to computing resources, we believe deployable power infrastructure will transform access to electrical capacity." It is a big claim, and the company is candid that it is a claim about the future. But the framing captures why the market is paying attention to power-availability stories: the prize is not a single product, it is a new layer of infrastructure.First-Mover in a Category That Did Not ExistPart of what makes the story distinctive is that NOMAD is not entering an established market so much as helping define a new one. The company claims to have pioneered the deployable utility-grade BESS category outright — becoming the first to bring a mobile, utility-grade 1 megawatt system to market, engineered from inception to meet the performance, safety and interconnection standards that investor-owned utilities, cooperatives and municipal utilities actually require. That distinction matters, because smaller, non-utility-grade mobile batteries have existed for years; what was missing was a transportable system robust enough for the utility customers who control the bulk of grid-scale demand.Being first in a new category can confer durable advantages — a head start on safety validation, a reference fleet that prospective customers can point to, operational know-how, and relationships with utilities that are notoriously slow to adopt unproven vendors. Management argues that this multi-year track record of utility-grade deployment, paired with the platform's UL validation and operational scale, amounts to a meaningful competitive moat in a market where reliability and safety are decisive purchasing criteria. The company also notes that average deployment sizes have grown from single units toward multi-unit fleets, and that inbound interest now drives roughly three-quarters of its sales activity — the kind of pull-demand pattern that, if sustained, suggests a category gaining its own momentum.None of that guarantees the lead is permanent. Categories that prove lucrative attract competition, and larger, better-capitalized energy and equipment companies could move into deployable power if the market scales as proponents expect. The durability of NOMAD's first-mover position — and of the permitting advantages underpinning it — is precisely the variable investors will want to watch as the story develops. For now, though, the company occupies a niche it largely created, at exactly the moment demand for it is accelerating.Weighing the BetFor all the momentum, this remains a high-risk reinvention. The acquisition has not closed — the company has left transaction consideration, structure and timing to be finalized, and the deal is subject to customary closing conditions. LIXTE is a small-cap company, recently a clinical-stage biotech, now attempting to become an infrastructure platform essentially overnight; the growth and capacity figures are management projections for an early-stage business, and a transformation of this magnitude carries execution, integration, and financing risks that should not be underestimated. Investors weighing the story should keep the speculative nature of a wholesale corporate pivot squarely in view.And yet the thesis behind the gamble is hard to dismiss. The AI economy's appetite for electricity is colliding with a grid that cannot expand fast enough, and the companies that can close that gap — quickly, at utility grade, without waiting years for permanent infrastructure — are stepping into one of the largest investment cycles in a generation. Whether LIXTE's transformation into NOMAD Power Solutions succeeds will come down to execution. But the company has, at minimum, planted itself at the center of the right question: not how to make more power, but how to get it where it is needed, now.CONTINUED … Learn more about LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings, Inc. at: https://lixte.com/SEE WHAT THE MARKET IS TALKING ABOUT BEFORE IT MOVESEagle Eye reads social, forum, and news chatter across thousands of investor conversations in real time — and surfaces the tickers the crowd is piling into, along with the sentiment and catalysts behind them.Explore Eagle Eye free (for now) at https://Eagle-Eye.devCONTACT:

Adjusted (non-GAAP) Operating Earnings for the first quarter of 2026 increased to $2.74 per share from $2.14 per share in the first quarter of 2025. For the reconciliations of GAAP Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted (non-GAAP) Operating Earnings, refer to the GAAP/Adjusted (non-GAAP) Operating Earnings Reconciliation section below. Adjusted (non-GAAP) Operating Earnings in the first quarter of 2026 primarily reflects: The addition of Calpine, favorable stock-based compensation, nuclear PTC portfolio and market and portfolio conditions, partially offset by unfavorable nuclear outages Recent Developments and First Quarter Highlights Pastoria Solar Project Comes Online: On April 16, 2026 we celebrated the commissioning of the 105 MW Pastoria Solar Project, the largest renewable energy project contracted by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) to date in its mission to fully decarbonize its operations by 2035. The Pastoria Solar Project connects to the grid through the interconnection facilities at the highly efficient 750 MW natural gas-fired combined-cycle generating facility. Also, co-located with the Pastoria Solar Project is the 80 MW/320 MWh Battery Energy Storage System, which will be coming online during the spring/summer of 2026. The Pastoria Power Bank is contracted and supported by a 15-year power purchase agreement with Pacific Gas and Electric Company. Pin Oak Creek Energy Center Reaches Commercial Operation: On April 30, 2026, our Pin Oak Creek Energy Center achieved commercial operation. Pin Oak is a 460 MW, state-of-the-art natural gas facility designed to provide reliable, dispatchable power to the ERCOT grid. As a peaking facility, it is built to operate when demand is highest and reliability matters most, while also maintaining the flexibility to run longer if system conditions require it. The project is a direct response to Texas’ continued growth and increasing electricity demand across homes, businesses, and industry. Pin Oak Creek will play a critical role in strengthening grid reliability and supporting the state’s economic momentum. Freestone Net Metering Application Approved: The PUCT has approved the net metering application for the co-location of a Cyrus One data center at our Freestone site, subject to conditions. In February we signed a 380 MW agreement with Dallas-based CyrusOne, a leading global data center developer and operator, to connect and serve a new data center adjacent to the Freestone Energy Center, in Freestone County, Texas. We also entered into an exclusive agreement to provide power, grid connectivity and site infrastructure for Phase 2, which will be an additional 380 MW. Ranked #1 on Barron's Most Sustainable U.S. Companies for 2026: We earned the No. 1 spot on Barron’s annual "Most Sustainable U.S. Companies" rankings, which evaluate the country's 1,000 largest publicly traded companies on 230 performance indicators including environmental impact, workforce development and community support. Nuclear Operations: Our nuclear fleet, including our owned output from the Salem and South Texas Project (STP) Generating Stations, produced 44,666 gigawatt-hours (GWhs) in the first quarter of 2026, compared with 45,582 GWhs in the first quarter of 2025. Excluding Salem and STP, our nuclear plants at ownership achieved a 92.3% capacity factor for the first quarter of 2026, compared with 94.1% for the first quarter of 2025. There were 99 planned refueling outage days in the first quarter of 2026 and 88 in the first quarter of 2025 for sites we operate. There were no non-refueling outage days in the first quarter of 2026 and 2025 for sites we operate. Natural Gas, Oil, and Renewables Operations: As a result of our expanded fleet following the acquisition of Calpine in January 2026, we now consider Equivalent Forced Outage Factor (EFOF) to be a key operational metric beginning in 2026. EFOF represents the percentage for which a generating unit is not available due to forced outages and forced deratings in a given period. The EFOF of our natural gas, oil, and pumped-storage hydro fleet for the first quarter of 2026 is 4.5%. Renewable energy capture for our wind, solar and run-of-river hydro fleet was 96.7% in the first quarter of 2026, compared with 96.2% in the first quarter of 2025. GAAP/Adjusted (non-GAAP) Operating Earnings Reconciliation The table below provides a reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to Adjusted (non-GAAP) Operating Earnings. Adjusted (non-GAAP) Operating Earnings is not a standardized financial measure and may not be comparable to other companies’ presentations of similarly titled measures. Unless otherwise noted, the income tax impact of each reconciling adjustment between GAAP Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Common Shareholders and Adjusted (non-GAAP) Operating Earnings is based on the marginal statutory federal and state income tax rates, taking into account whether the income or expense item is taxable or deductible, respectively, in whole or in part, which may result in an effective tax rate that differs from the marginal rate. The marginal statutory income tax rate was 25.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The following table provides a reconciliation between GAAP Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Common Shareholders and Adjusted (non-GAAP) Operating Earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025.   Three Months Ended March 31,   2026   2025 (In millions, except per share data)     Earnings Per Share(a)       Earnings Per Share(a) GAAP Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Common Shareholders $ 1,590     $ 4.49     $ 118     $ 0.38   Unrealized (Gain) Loss on Fair Value Adjustments (net of taxes of $247 and $169, respectively)(b)   (721 )     (2.03 )     505       1.61   Decommissioning-Related Activities (net of taxes of $79 and $31, respectively)(c)   (174 )     (0.49 )     19       0.06   Amortization of Acquired Commodity Contracts (net of taxes of $53 and $—, respectively)(d)   154       0.44       —       —   Calpine Merger and Integration Costs (net of taxes of $22 and $4, respectively)(e)   119       0.34       13       0.04   Plant Retirements and Divestitures (net of taxes of $— and $4, respectively)   —       —       11       0.03   Pension & OPEB Non-Service (Credits) Costs (net of taxes of $7 and $3, respectively)   20       0.06       9       0.03   Income Tax-Related Adjustments   (13 )     (0.04 )     —       —   Noncontrolling Interests(f)   (3 )     (0.01 )     (2 )     (0.01 ) Adjusted (non-GAAP) Operating Earnings $ 972     $ 2.74     $ 673     $ 2.14   __________ (a) Amounts may not sum due to rounding.

The AI Power Surge: Why Energy Infrastructure Is Becoming the Next Critical BottleneckApril 21, 2026 9:00 AM
InvestorsHub NewsWireThe AI Power Surge: Why Energy Infrastructure Is Becoming the Next Critical BottleneckAINewsWire Editorial Coverage: Artificial intelligence ("AI") is no longer just a software revolution; it is rapidly becoming an energy story. As AI models grow larger and more complex, the computational power required to train and operate them is driving a surge in electricity demand that is beginning to outpace existing infrastructure. Hyperscale data centers, once viewed as digital backbones, are now emerging as some of the most energy-intensive assets in the global economy. This shift is forcing governments, utilities and private industry to confront a new reality: energy infrastructure, not computing capability, may become the defining constraint of the AI era. Amid this transition, American Fusion(TM) Inc. (OTC:AMFN) (Profile) is positioning itself at the intersection of advanced energy and next-generation infrastructure. Through its focus on aneutronic fusion and related supply chain development, the company is working toward scalable, high-efficiency energy systems designed to meet the demands of AI-driven workloads. Its approach reflects a broader shift across the energy sector, from theoretical innovation toward deployable solutions capable of supporting long-term infrastructure needs. American Fusion joins other leading companies operating at the convergence of AI, electricity demand and energy infrastructure, including NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA), Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT), Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) and Constellation Energy Corporation (NASDAQ: CEG).The rapid expansion of artificial intelligence is driving a new wave of growth in global data center infrastructure, with energy demand rising at an accelerating pace.While demand is surging, existing power infrastructure is increasingly showing its limitations; American Fusion's strategy directly addresses this by focusing on localized, high-output energy generation.As traditional energy systems struggle to keep pace, next-generation energy technologies such as American Fusion are gaining increased attention.The company's strategy incorporates the challenges of fuel supply and infrastructure readiness by focusing not only on reactor development but also on the broader ecosystem required to support fusion energy.The fusion and advanced energy sectors are undergoing a transition from research-driven innovation to execution-focused development with American Fusion reflecting this broader shift through its emphasis on building both technological capability and operational infrastructure.Click here to view the custom infographic of the American Fusion editorial.Explosive AI Growth Driving Power DemandThe rapid expansion of artificial intelligence is driving a new wave of growth in global data center infrastructure, with energy demand rising at an accelerating pace. Forecasts project that data center electricity demand will more than double from roughly 448 TWh in 2025 to nearly 980 TWh by 2030, with AI-optimized servers accounting for an estimated 44% of that rapidly growing demand.This surge reflects the growing intensity of AI training and inference models, which rely on dense clusters of high-performance GPUs and specialized accelerators operating continuously. As deployment scales across industries, the energy intensity of AI is emerging as a defining constraint in infrastructure planning, signaling a structural shift in how digital growth translates into physical power demand.Hyperscale technology companies are leading this expansion. Firms such as Microsoft, Google and Amazon are investing billions of dollars into new data center capacity to support generative AI and cloud computing services. McKinsey & Company estimates that generative AI could generate between $2.6 trillion and $4.4 trillion in annual global economic value, but achieving that potential will require a significant expansion of data center infrastructure and energy capacity, placing increasing pressure on electricity systems (McKinsey). This trend is particularly pronounced in regions with high concentrations of hyperscale facilities, where energy demand is rising faster than traditional infrastructure can accommodate.In this context, American Fusion's focus on scalable fusion-based energy systems aligns closely with emerging market needs. By targeting high-efficiency, continuous power generation, the company is working toward solutions capable of supporting energy-intensive AI infrastructure. Its positioning reflects the reality that the future of computing will depend as much on energy availability as on technological advancement.Aging Grids Struggle Under New LoadsWhile demand is surging, existing power infrastructure is increasingly showing its limitations. Many electrical grids were designed decades ago, optimized for predictable industrial and residential consumption rather than the highly concentrated, always-on demands of modern data centers. This mismatch is creating bottlenecks that are slowing the deployment of new AI infrastructure.Grid constraints are particularly evident in high-growth regions such as Texas. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas ("ERCOT") has reported rising load requirements driven in part by industrial growth and data center expansion, with historical load data showing consistent upward pressure on the system. As new facilities come online, utilities are facing increasing challenges in delivering sufficient power without overloading existing transmission networks.Deployment delays are becoming more common as a result. In some cases, data center projects are being postponed due to insufficient grid capacity or the time required to build new transmission infrastructure. This creates a feedback loop where technological progress is constrained not by innovation, but by the physical limitations of energy delivery systems.American Fusion's strategy directly addresses this bottleneck by focusing on localized, high-output energy generation. Fusion-based systems, if successfully deployed, could reduce reliance on centralized grids by providing dedicated power sources for high-demand applications such as data centers. This approach aligns with the growing need for flexible, scalable energy solutions that can be deployed closer to end users.Fusion, Advanced Energy Gain MomentumAs traditional energy systems struggle to keep pace, next-generation energy technologies are gaining increased attention. Nuclear fission, renewable energy and particularly fusion are being explored as potential solutions capable of delivering large-scale, reliable power without the carbon emissions associated with fossil fuels.Fusion energy, long considered a theoretical breakthrough, is now moving closer to practical application. The U.S. Department of Energy describes fusion as the process that powers the sun, offering the potential for virtually limitless, carbon-free energy if it can be harnessed effectively. Similarly, the International Energy Agency notes that fusion could play a significant role in future electricity systems, particularly as demand continues to rise.Major global initiatives are already underway. Projects such as ITER represent international collaboration on fusion research, aiming to demonstrate the feasibility of sustained fusion reactions at scale ("ITER"). Meanwhile, private-sector investment is accelerating as companies race to commercialize fusion technologies.American Fusion is part of this emerging ecosystem, focusing specifically on aneutronic fusion, a form of fusion that produces minimal neutron radiation and offers potential advantages in efficiency and safety. By advancing both the core technology and the supporting infrastructure required for deployment, the company is positioning itself within a segment of the market that is increasingly viewed as critical to long-term energy solutions.Fuel Constraints Shape Future DeploymentDespite its promise, fusion energy faces significant challenges related to fuel supply and infrastructure readiness. One of the most discussed issues is the availability of helium-3, a rare isotope that is considered a potential fuel for certain fusion reactions. The U.S. Department of Energy has highlighted helium-3 as a valuable resource for future energy systems, though its scarcity presents a major hurdle (DOE Helium-3).Scientific research underscores this challenge, reporteing that helium-3 is extremely limited on Earth, with much of the existing supply derived from nuclear weapons programs and tritium decay. This scarcity has led to discussions about alternative sourcing strategies, including extraction from the moon or otheradvanced production methods.The World Nuclear Association further notes that while fusion fuels such as deuterium are abundant, others like helium and tritium present more complex supply challenges that must be addressed for large-scale deployment. These constraints highlight the importance of developing robust supply chains alongside technological advancements.American Fusion's strategy incorporates these realities by focusing not only on reactor development but also on the broader ecosystem required to support fusion energy. This includes considerations around fuel sourcing, logistics and long-term infrastructure planning, all areas that are becoming increasingly critical as the industry moves closer to commercialization.From Innovation to Infrastructure ExecutionThe fusion and advanced energy sectors are undergoing a transition from research-driven innovation to execution-focused development. As technologies mature, attention is shifting toward building the infrastructure necessary to support large-scale deployment, including manufacturing, supply chains and partnerships.McKinsey & Company has noted that while fusion has made significant technical progress, commercialization will depend on the ability to scale production and integrate systems into existing energy markets. This requires coordinated efforts across multiple sectors, from engineering and materials science to policy and financing.Partnerships are playing a key role in this transition. Governments, research institutions and private companies are increasingly collaborating to accelerate development timelines and share resources. These partnerships are essential for overcoming the complex technical and logistical challenges associated with bringing new energy technologies to market.American Fusion reflects this broader shift through its emphasis on building both technological capability and operational infrastructure. By focusing on scalable deployment and supply chain readiness, the company is aligning with industry trends that prioritize execution over experimentation. In an environment where energy availability is becoming a limiting factor for AI growth, this transition from concept to capability may ultimately define which companies succeed.The rise of artificial intelligence is reshaping not only the digital economy but also the global energy landscape. As demand for computational power continues to surge, energy infrastructure is emerging as a critical bottleneck that could constrain future growth. Addressing this challenge will require a combination of technological innovation, infrastructure investment and strategic coordination across industries.In this evolving landscape, companies focused on next-generation energy solutions, particularly those capable of delivering scalable, high-efficiency power, are becoming increasingly important. American Fusion's positioning at the intersection of fusion technology and infrastructure development reflects a broader industry shift toward practical deployment. As AI continues to accelerate, the ability to generate and deliver reliable energy may prove to be just as important as the algorithms themselves.AI Enters Its Autonomous EraArtificial intelligence is entering a new phase defined by autonomy, large-scale investment and deeper integration across enterprise and infrastructure systems. Recent developments across the industry highlight a shift toward agentic AI capable of reasoning and acting independently, alongside expanding cloud ecosystems and the growing importance of energy and compute infrastructure to support increasingly complex workloads.NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA) reports that its expanded strategic collaborations with Adobe and WPP are bringing agentic AI to the center of enterprise marketing operations. The company noted that creative AI agents, secured by the NVIDIA OpenShell runtime, generate on-brand content as well as personalize and activate content. The expanded collaborations bring together three complementary strengths: Adobe's creative and customer experience platforms and the new Adobe CX Enterprise Coworker, WPP's global media and marketing expertise, and NVIDIA's accelerated computing and software stack, including NVIDIA Nemotron open models, NVIDIA Agent Toolkit and the NVIDIA OpenShell secure runtime for building and running secure agentic AI systems.Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT) researchers are reporting about the future of AI in 2026. The company noted that "what began as algorithms that nudged and assisted customers has evolved into systems that reason and adapt while collaborating with them. At Microsoft Research, the conversation around AI has moved beyond what's possible to what's next." According to the company, their experts are rethinking the foundations of computing and intelligence, designing systems that govern themselves, embedding autonomy into the architecture of the digital world, building AI tools that work in low-resource languages and contexts, and creating pathways for inclusion and access.Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) is expanding its strategic collaboration with Anthropic. The two companies have been working together since 2023 to accelerate generative AI adoption across industries, making it easier for customers to build, deploy and scale AI applications that solve real-world problems. Amazon and Anthropic are deepening their collaboration with a commitment from Anthropic to spend more than $100 billion over the next 10 years on AWS technologies. In addition, Amazon will invest $5 billion in Anthropic now and up to an additional $20 billion in the future tied to certain commercial milestones.Constellation Energy Corporation (NASDAQ: CEG) has announced that the California State Water Project is moving closer to carbon neutrality. Calpine, a business unit of Constellation, celebrated the completion of the 105 MW Pastoria Solar Project, the largest renewable energy project contracted by the California Department of Water Resources to date in its mission to fully decarbonize its operations by 2035. According to the company, Pastoria is a strong example of how an integrated energy solution can deliver both reliability and decarbonization. These advancements signal a broader transformation in how AI is developed and deployed, moving from assistive tools to intelligent systems embedded across industries. As organizations continue to invest in scalable platforms, collaborative ecosystems and sustainable infrastructure, AI is poised to play an even more central role in shaping productivity, innovation and global technology frameworks in the years ahead.For more information about American Fusion, please visit the American Fusion profile.About AINewsWireAINewsWire (AINW) is a specialized communications platform with a focus on the latest advancements in artificial intelligence ("AI"), including the technologies, trends and trailblazers driving innovation forward.

Recent Developments and Highlights



Calpine acquisition: On January 7, 2026, we completed our acquisition of Calpine Corporation, creating the nation's largest producer of electricity. Serving millions of customers each day, the combined organization will deliver reliable, clean power that keeps America moving forward. By uniting our zero-emission nuclear fleet with Calpine's industry-leading natural gas and geothermal generation, we are building the foundation for America's next great era of innovation – powering the data centers, advanced manufacturing facilities and critical infrastructure that are expected to play an important role in the AI age and the nation's economic leadership.




Freestone Energy Center to support new data center: Our subsidiary Calpine LLC signed a new 380-megawatt (MW) agreement with Dallas-based CyrusOne, a leading global data center developer and operator, to connect and serve a new data center adjacent to the Freestone Energy Center, in Freestone County, Texas. The agreement provides CyrusOne with access to power, grid connectivity and site infrastructure needed to support development of the new facility, while ensuring electricity continues to flow to the regional grid and ensuring reliability for all customers and communities. Calpine has also entered into an exclusive agreement to provide power, grid connectivity and site infrastructure for Phase 2, which will be an additional 380 MW. These agreements are in addition to the 400 MW agreements announced in the second half of last year between Calpine and CyrusOne for the Thad Hill Energy Center in Bosque County, Texas.




Clinton and Dresden license renewal: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has approved a 20-year initial license renewal for our Clinton Clean Energy Center and a 20-year subsequent license renewal for our Dresden Clean Energy Center, following a rigorous review of maintenance activities, plant equipment and safety systems at the two Illinois facilities. The approvals allow Clinton to operate through 2047 and the Dresden reactors to operate through 2049 and 2051. We are the nation’s largest operator of clean, reliable nuclear power, and we are investing more than $370 million to relicense the plants, installing state-of-the-art upgrades to increase efficiency and ensure safety and reliability for decades to come.




Crane DOE loan: In November 2025, the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Dominance Financing issued a guarantee for up to $1 billion for an unsecured loan from the Federal Financing Bank to support the financing of the restart of the Crane Clean Energy Center. The loan will mature in October 2055. Interest rates on the loan will be fixed upon each advance at a spread of 37.5 basis points above U.S. Treasuries of comparable maturity. Cash from operations will fund the remaining capital expenditures. The restart is supported by a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Microsoft to purchase the output generated from the renewed plant. The restart of the plant and delivery of electricity under the PPA is subject to certain regulatory approvals, including the NRC comprehensive safety and environmental review, as well as permits from relevant state and local agencies.




Dividend Declaration: Our Board of Directors has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.4265 per share on our common stock. The dividend is payable on Friday, March 20, 2026, to shareholders of record as of 5 p.m. Eastern time on Monday, March 9, 2026.




Nuclear Operations: Our nuclear fleet, including our owned output from the Salem and South Texas Project (STP) Generating Stations, produced 45,459 gigawatt-hours (GWhs) in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with 45,494 GWhs in the fourth quarter of 2024. Excluding Salem and STP, our nuclear plants at ownership achieved a capacity factor of 93.1% and 94.8% for the fourth quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 94.7% and 94.6% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. There were 63 planned refueling outage days in the fourth quarter of 2025 and 66 in the fourth quarter of 2024. There were 30 non-refueling outage days in the fourth quarter of 2025 and three in the fourth quarter of 2024.




Natural Gas, Oil, and Renewables Operations: The dispatch match rate for our gas and pumped storage hydro fleet was 99.4% and 93.2% in the fourth quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 97.9% and 97.4% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Energy capture for the wind, solar and run-of-river hydro fleet was 97.2% and 95.7% in the fourth quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 96.6% and 96.1% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.



GAAP/Adjusted (non-GAAP) Operating Earnings Reconciliation


The table below provides a reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to Adjusted (non-GAAP) Operating Earnings. Adjusted (non-GAAP) Operating Earnings is not a standardized financial measure and may not be comparable to other companies’ presentations of similarly titled measures.


Unless otherwise noted, the income tax impact of each reconciling adjustment between GAAP Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Common Shareholders and Adjusted (non-GAAP) Operating Earnings is based on the marginal statutory federal and state income tax rates, taking into account whether the income or expense item is taxable or deductible, respectively, in whole or in part, which may result in an effective tax rate that differs from the marginal rate. The marginal statutory income tax rate was 25.6% and 25.5% for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The following table provides a reconciliation between GAAP Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Common Shareholders and Adjusted (non-GAAP) Operating Earnings for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures


We utilize Adjusted (non-GAAP) Operating Earnings (and/or its per share equivalent) in our internal analysis, and in communications with investors and analysts, as a consistent measure for comparing our financial performance and discussing the factors and trends affecting our business. The presentation of Adjusted (non-GAAP) Operating Earnings is intended to complement and should not be considered an alternative to, nor more useful than, the presentation of GAAP Net Income (Loss).


The tables above provide a reconciliation of GAAP Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted (non-GAAP) Operating Earnings. Adjusted (non-GAAP) Operating Earnings is not a standardized financial measure and may not be comparable to other companies’ presentations of similarly titled measures.


Due to the forward-looking nature of our Adjusted (non-GAAP) Operating Earnings guidance, we are unable to reconcile this non-GAAP financial measure to GAAP Net Income (Loss) given the inherent uncertainty required in projecting gains and losses associated with the various fair value adjustments required by GAAP. These adjustments include future changes in fair value impacting the derivative instruments utilized in our current business operations, as well as the debt and equity securities held within our nuclear decommissioning trusts, which may have a material impact on our future GAAP results.
