AI was referenced on this call primarily as a demand driver for data center power consumption, not as a technology Constellation itself deploys. Management cited AI-driven hyperscaler capex growth of ~75% YoY in 2026 as a key tailwind for power demand, and the Pennsylvania Governor's support for Pennsylvania being a 'leader in AI and other technologies' was noted. No discussion of AI as an internal productivity tool or as a product Constellation sells occurred.

Extracted verbatim from the CEG Q1 2026 earnings call transcript. Speaker, section, and specificity tier surfaced for each mention.
- T3Q&A· CEO· Customer demand signalJust curious your interpretation and viewpoint here as to the weakness in the forwards even despite some of the very strong data center activity in the pipeline that we're seeing there.
“there's been over 400,000 megs of large loads in the queue. Obviously, we don't expect anything near that. But the forward market beyond '29 to us, appears like something that's only expecting 10,000 to 15,000 megs. So if we see numbers like 30,000 megs, we believe that the market will see upward pressure.”

“projected spending levels for 2026 are nearly 75% higher than last year and continue to be revised upward.”
— Joseph Dominguez, CEG earnings call - T2Q&A· CEO· Customer demand signalIs there a specific threshold docket you're looking for to really unlock things?
“the data centers themselves are going to increasingly be able to manage some of the curtailment risk by moving data economy jobs around. So as you think about the U.S., as data centers proliferate in different regions, I think it's going to give them the ability to identify jobs that don't either have to happen at peak hours of energy consumption or could be shipped away to other data centers in different regions of the country that might not be experiencing a reliability issue at that moment in time.”
— Joseph Dominguez, CEG earnings call - T2Q&A· CEO· Customer demand signalwondering kind of what the posturing is, maybe does that shift perspectives on how they see the wholesale market and general impression of support for data centers in Pennsylvania?
“The Governor has spoken about the importance of the jobs and the economic development for Pennsylvania to be a leader in AI and other technologies under the right conditions.”
— Joseph Dominguez, CEG earnings call - T2Prepared remarks· CEO· Customer demand signal
“demand for additional compute and by extension, additional power, has not slowed from hyperscaler customers.”

- No quantification of contracted or pipeline revenue specifically attributable to AI-driven data center customers versus other large load customers.
- No disclosure of any internal AI/ML tools used by Constellation for operations, trading, or customer management.
- Hyperscaler capex growth figure (~75% YoY for 2026) cited without sourcing or methodology.
