Ralph Hunter, President of Constellation Generation Development LLC, said:
“Constellation is committed to a carbon-free future and has for many years supported nuclear developers in the United States and internationally. The Constellation Nuclear Management Model is widely regarded within the industry as a benchmark for world-class nuclear power operations, and we are excited with the opportunity to work with both ULC-Energy and Rolls-Royce SMR to ensure the safe and reliable development and operation of Rolls-Royce SMRs in the Netherlands.”
“Constellation will bring deep operational experience to ULC-Energy allowing ULC-Energy to deliver a complete offering to its stakeholders in the Netherlands. Having worked closely with Constellation, and its predecessor Exelon Generation since 2005, I am confident that our cooperation will be fruitful.” said Dirk Rabelink, Managing Director of ULC-Energy.
