NRC Minimum Funding Requirements

NRC regulations require that licensees of nuclear generating facilities demonstrate reasonable assurance that funds will be available in specified minimum amounts for radiological decommissioning of the facility at the end of its life.

We filed our biennial decommissioning funding status report with the NRC in March 2025 for all units, including our shutdown units, except for STP units which were included in a separate report to the NRC submitted by STPNOC. The status reports demonstrated adequate decommissioning funding assurance based on trust fund values as of December 31, 2024 for all our units except for Peach Bottom Unit 1. Financial assurance for decommissioning Peach Bottom Unit 1 is provided by collections from PECO customers. See Note 10 — Asset Retirement Obligations of our 2024 Form 10-K for additional information.
