The company posted an annual net income of $4.5 billion, compared to a $1.3 billion loss in fiscal year 2008. Including a planned $9 billion, 1,600-MW unit addition at the Calvert Cliffs facility, Industrial Info is currently tracking more than $10 billion of active projects of Constellation Energy Group. The Calvert Cliffs Unit 3 addition project is one of 19 nuclear projects that applied for a portion of $18.5 billion in federal loan guarantees.
