Constellation and Xpansiv on Oct. 29 announced plans to launch clean energy-based annual emission-free energy certificates (EFECs) on an online trading platform.
“Constellation will offer EFECs sourced from its clean energy centers in the PJM region on Xpansiv’s CBL spot exchange beginning December 2, 2025. Constellation and Xpansiv also plan to offer hourly EFECs on the platform in the future,” the companies said.
Xpansiv will further support the emission-free energy market through its North American Renewables Registry (NAR), which will issue nuclear-energy-based zero-emission certificates (ZECs) providing full-lifecycle traceability from issuance to retirement.
NAR is a leading renewable energy certificate (REC) registry across the U.S., Canada and Mexico with more than 89 GW of renewable energy capacity.
“With its exchange and registry, Xpansiv is well positioned to support renewed public and private sector interest and momentum in advancing emission-free clean energy generation. These sources, including nuclear, hydropower, solar and wind, are necessary to meet growing electricity needs from existing and new data centers being developed to support artificial intelligence applications, electric vehicles and other sources,” the companies said.
According to Goldman Sachs Research, global data center power demand is expected to grow a staggering 160% by 2030.
Webinar Scheduled for November 12
Xpansiv and Constellation will host a webinar November 12, 10 a.m. (ET) in which participants will gain insight into how verified, registry-issued certificates support decarbonization programs as well as disclosure and reporting requirements.
Panelists will include Whitney Boles, Managing Director, Customer Products, Constellation; Katie Doyle, Senior Vice President, Registry Solutions, Xpansiv; and Russell Karas, Senior Vice President, Strategic Market Solutions, Xpansiv.
