Crane Clean Energy Center Targets 2027 Restart
- Constellation Energy still expects to restart the Crane Clean Energy Center (formerly Three Mile Island Unit 1) in 2027, CEO Joseph Dominguez said in an April 2026 report, despite possible grid connection delays[2]
- Restart is backed by a 20-year power purchase agreement with Microsoft, announced in 2024; the unit was retired for economic reasons in 2019 and would add 835 MW[2][3]
- The target was originally 2028 and moved to 2027 after PJM approved an early interconnection request, though PJM said some transmission upgrades could take until 2031[2][3]
- Constellation would ask FERC to transfer capacity injection rights from its Eddystone plant to Crane[2]
- As of September 2025 staffing was nearly 80% with 500 full-time employees, inspections were largely complete, and the NRC filings were on track; the restart has US Department of Energy loan support[2][3]
