Constellation Energy announced that it has received regulatory approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for its previously announced $16.4 billion acquisition of Calpine Corporation. This approval marks a significant milestone in the merger process. The FERC's nod is a crucial step towards completing the transformative transaction, which aims to combine Constellation's nuclear fleet with Calpine's diversified generation portfolio. This approval addresses a major regulatory hurdle, reducing uncertainty surrounding the deal. With this key regulatory clearance, the acquisition remains on track to close by year-end, as previously communicated. The combined entity is expected to become America's leading producer of clean and reliable energy, enhancing scale and diversification.
