Constellation Energy plunges on Trump plan to cap electricity rates in mid-Atlantic
The Trump Administration and mid-Atlantic governors announced a plan to cap electricity rates in the PJM region while spurring new power plant construction for AI data centers. According to Yahoo and Barron's, this policy shift benefits equipment makers like GE Vernova while hurting owners of existing power plants like Constellation Energy.

Analysis

The policy creates a two-tier impact: new power plants get favorable long-term AI contracts, but existing generators face rate caps that could compress margins. This is particularly painful for Constellation given its large nuclear fleet in the PJM region. The sharp drop follows a volatile week and continues uncertainty around how AI-driven power demand will be monetized by legacy utilities.
