Constellation Energy dips 11% on power auction news

Constellation Energy Corporation 's shares slumped over 11% during Friday's trading session after the Trump administration and a bipartisan group of governors called on the PJM (Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland) Interconnection, the nation's largest regional electric grid operator, to hold a one-time auction to provide data centers with new sources of power.

The proposed auction, which could support the construction of about $15 billion worth of new generation capacity, would require technology companies to finance new power plants through 15-year contracts. However, market intervention increasingly disfavors contracting existing facilities.

The independent power producer's stocks dived 11.47% at 2:29 pm ET, going for $302.10 apiece.
