Texas Nuclear Plant License Transfer Gets Another Delay

## Summary

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has extended the approval for a 2% ownership transfer of the South Texas Project nuclear plant licenses and spent fuel storage from Constellation South Texas to CPS Energy until December 11, 2026. This means CPS Energy keeps its stake a bit longer without any extra costs or delays. The extension keeps everything running smoothly and on schedule for both companies and the community.

## Abstract

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing an order to extend, until December 11, 2026, the effectiveness of a December 11, 2024, order, which approved the direct transfer of a two percent ownership interest in Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-76 and NPF-80 for South Texas Project, Units 1 and 2, respectively, and the generally licensed independent spent fuel storage installation from Constellation South Texas, LLC to the City Public Service Board of San Antonio (CPS Energy).
