Financial Highlights

CEG's strong performance in Q3 2023 was primarily due to favorable market and portfolio conditions, partially offset by unfavorable labor, contracting, and materials, and decreased ZEC revenue.

CEG also continued its commitment to shareholders by repurchasing $250 million of shares, completing three quarters of its $1.0 billion share repurchase program. The company also expanded its carbon-free nuclear fleet by acquiring a 44% stake in South Texas Project Electric Generating Station.
