Constellation to Sell 4.4 GW PJM Gas Portfolio to LS Power for $5 Billion

The divestiture addresses DOJ remedies tied to Constellation’s Calpine acquisition.

Overview

  • The portfolio consists of natural gas‑fired plants in Delaware and Pennsylvania totaling about 4.4 gigawatts.
  • Constellation disclosed a $5 billion price before customary closing adjustments.
  • The transaction is part of DOJ‑required asset sales aimed at resolving competition concerns in the PJM market.
  • The valuation implies roughly $1,142 per kilowatt for the generation capacity based on the reported figures.
  • Constellation frames the move as improving operational efficiency and says it expects to finish remaining DOJ requirements later this year.
