First Priority Liens for Commodity Procurement and Risk Management Activities
Following the acquisition of Calpine in January 2026, the Company has assumed additional first-priority liens on Calpine assets, which are currently subject to first priority liens under various debt agreements, as collateral under certain of our power and natural gas agreements and certain of the interest rate swaps in order to reduce the cash collateral and letters of credit that would otherwise be provided to the counterparties under such agreements. The counterparties under such agreements share the benefits of the collateral subject to such first priority liens pro rata with the lenders under various debt agreements. As of June 30, 2026, the exposure was $167 million under these first priority liens for power and natural gas agreements andno exposure for the interest rate swaps.
Environmental Remediation Matters
General. Our operations have in the past, and may in the future, require substantial expenditures to comply with environmental laws. Additionally, under Federal and state environmental laws, we are generally liable for the costs of remediating environmental contamination of property currently or formerly owned by us and of property contaminated by hazardous substances generated by us. We own or lease several real estate parcels, including parcels on which our operations or the operations of others may have resulted in contamination by substances that are considered hazardous under environmental laws. In addition, we are currently involved in proceedings relating to sites where hazardous substances have been deposited and may be subject to additional proceedings in the future. Unless otherwise disclosed, we cannot reasonably estimate whether we will incur significant liabilities for additional investigation and remediation costs at these or additional sites identified by us, environmental agencies, or others. Additional costs could have a material, unfavorable impact on our consolidated financial statements.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had accrued undiscounted amounts for environmental liabilities of $14 million and $9 million, respectively, in Accounts payable and accrued expenses and $162 million and $169 million, respectively, in Other deferred credits and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 18 — Commitments and Contingencies of our 2025 Form 10-K for additional information on environmental remediation matters. As of June 30, 2026, and through the date of filing, there have been no material changes in amounts recognized for the matters discussed in our 2025 Form 10-K.
Note 15 — Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
We are involved in various litigation matters that are being defended and handled in the ordinary course of business. The assessment of whether a loss is probable or reasonably possible, and whether the loss or a range of loss is estimable, often involves a series of complex judgments about future events. We maintain accruals for such losses that are probable of being incurred and subject to reasonable estimation. Management is sometimes unable to estimate an amount or range of reasonably possible loss, particularly where (1) the damages sought are indeterminate, (2) the proceedings are in the early stages, or (3) the matters involve novel or unsettled legal theories. In such cases, there is considerable uncertainty regarding the timing or ultimate resolution of such matters, including a possible eventual loss.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had accrued $28 million and $15 million, respectively, in Accounts payable and accrued expenses and $122 million and $113 million, respectively, in Other deferred credits and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for liabilities related to litigation matters, including asbestos personal injury claims. See Note 18 — Commitments and Contingencies of our 2025 Form 10-K for additional information on asbestos personal injury claims. As of June 30, 2026, and through the date of filing, there have been no material changes in amounts recognized for the matters discussed in our 2025 Form 10-K.
Impacts of the February 2021 Extreme Cold Weather Event and Texas-based Generating Assets Outages. Calpine was acquired on January 7, 2026, and is party to the same ongoing litigation proceedings as Constellation. See Note 18 — Commitments and Contingencies of our 2025 Form 10-K for additional information on this matter, which is likewise representative of the ongoing proceedings as it pertains to Calpine.
In March 2026, the Supreme Court of Texas denied plaintiffs’ petitions for a writ of mandamus in all five bellwether appeals. In July 2026, the Court denied plaintiffs' motions for rehearing. The parties will now return to the Multi-District-Litigation court to effect dismissal of all remaining Winter Storm Uri tort claims pending against the power generator defendants.
