Xpansiv and Constellation Partner to Launch Emission-Free Energy Certificates on Digital Trading Platform

Constellation Energy Corporation and Xpansiv announced plans to launch clean energy-based annual emission-free energy certificates on an online trading platform, creating new market mechanisms to support corporate decarbonization efforts. Constellation will offer EFECs sourced from its clean energy centers in the PJM region on Xpansiv's CBL spot exchange beginning December 2, 2025, with plans to expand to hourly EFECs in the future.

The partnership represents a significant advancement in environmental commodity markets, addressing the growing demand for verified clean energy solutions. Xpansiv will further support the emission-free energy market through its North American Renewables Registry, which will issue nuclear-energy-based zero-emission certificates providing full-lifecycle traceability from issuance to retirement. NAR serves as a leading renewable energy certificate registry across the U.S., Canada and Mexico with more than 89 GW of renewable energy capacity.

Jim McHugh, Chief Commercial Officer at Constellation, emphasized the company's commitment to providing comprehensive commercial products that help customers meet environmental goals. McHugh stated that Constellation believes the most important energy commodity is a reliable and clean megawatt, noting that Constellation's clean energy resources offer more emissions-free energy than any other provider in the United States.

John Melby, CEO of Xpansiv, highlighted the critical need for additional carbon-free power sources and the important role clean energy centers will play in meeting growing demand. Melby described the launch of clean energy certificate solutions across Xpansiv's registry and exchange as demonstrating the power of comprehensive environmental commodity market infrastructure. The partnership with Constellation represents a significant initiative for the environmental commodities market.

The timing of this market development coincides with renewed public and private sector interest in advancing emission-free clean energy generation. These energy sources, including nuclear, hydropower, solar and wind, are increasingly necessary to meet growing electricity demands from existing and new data centers being developed to support artificial intelligence applications, electric vehicles and other emerging technologies. According to Goldman Sachs Research, global data center power demand is expected to grow 160% by 2030, creating substantial pressure on energy markets and infrastructure.

To educate market participants about these new certificate offerings, Xpansiv and Constellation will host a webinar on Wednesday, November 12 at 10 a.m. ET. Participants will gain insight into how verified, registry-issued certificates support decarbonization programs as well as disclosure and reporting requirements. The webinar panel will include Whitney Boles, Managing Director of Customer Products at Constellation; Katie Doyle, Senior Vice President of Registry Solutions at Xpansiv; and Russell Karas, Senior Vice President of Strategic Market Solutions at Xpansiv. Registration is available at https://cvent.me/z2QXL7.

This partnership between Constellation, the nation's largest producer of emissions-free energy, and Xpansiv, a leading infrastructure provider for global energy transition markets, creates new pathways for corporations to verify and track their clean energy usage. The development of standardized, tradable emission-free energy certificates provides businesses with additional tools to meet sustainability targets and report environmental performance with greater transparency and credibility.
