A business unit of Constellation (NASDAQ: CEG), Calpine Corporation is America’s largest generator of electricity from natural gas and geothermal resources with operations in competitive power markets. Our fleet of 76 power plants in operation or under construction represents more than 26,000 megawatts of generation capacity -- enough to power approximately 20 million homes. Through wholesale power operations and our retail businesses Calpine Energy Solutions and Champion Energy, we serve customers in 22 states, Canada and Mexico. Our clean, efficient, modern and flexible fleet uses advanced technologies to generate power in a low-emissions and environmentally responsible manner. We are uniquely positioned to benefit from the secular trends affecting our industry, including the abundant and affordable supply of clean natural gas, environmental regulation, aging power generation infrastructure and the increasing need for dispatchable power plants to successfully integrate intermittent renewables into the grid.
