On September 20, 2019, the Three Mile Island Unit 1 generating station shutdown for economic reasons, despite being one of the best performing plants on the grid. Exactly five years later, Constellation Energy Generation (CEG) announced the unit would re-start as the Crane Clean Energy Center (CCEC), including a 20-year power purchase agreement with Microsoft to power Microsoft’s growing artificial intelligence (AI) and data center portfolio.
