Constellation Energy agreed to buy a 609-megawatt Rhode Island gas plant from Shell; the acquisition has not been described as closed.

Utility Dive reports that Constellation Energy entered a deal to buy a 609-megawatt natural-gas power plant in Rhode Island from Shell. The supplied source describes an acquisition agreement, not a completed transfer of ownership.

The asset adds to Constellation’s portfolio in ISO New England, the regional independent system operator’s market. The 609 megawatts is the plant’s reported generation capacity; it is not a dedicated AI-data-center power allocation or a compute-capacity figure.

In a separate transaction, Shell acquired a 169-megawatt Pennsylvania gas portfolio to expand its position in the PJM Interconnection electricity market. The excerpt supplies no price, closing timetable, financing terms, or dedicated data-center customer for Constellation’s Rhode Island purchase.
