SASB IF-EU-110a.1

Gases included in the calculation include CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs and SF6. Constellation calculates

Scope 1 emissions using guidance from the IPCC 4th Assessment Report.

The increase to our Scope 1 emissions in 2023 is the result of our natural gas generation assets in

Texas being called on more frequently and for longer durations than in prior years to ensure the reliable

delivery of power to meet the demand of that state's electricity grid

Per GHG Protocol guidance, the GHG "inventory boundary must be held consistent between those data

sets that are used for a direct comparison over time." Following this, we have conducted a re-baselining

of our GHG inventory to ensure comparison of "like with like" emissions boundaries and calculation

methodologies over time. Re-baselining was triggered after exceeding our 5% re-baselining threshold

due to (1) changes in our organizational structure due to acquisition and divestment, (2) improvements

to our GHG accounting methodology for better alignment to GHG Protocol guidance, and (3) updated,

more accurate source data from which our GHG emissions are calculated. As such, our 2022 GHG

emissions have been updated to reflect these changes and may vary slightly from what was previously

reported.

GRI 305-2

Gases included in the calculation include CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs, SF6 and NF3, but only CO2, CH4 and

N2O are relevant to our operations. Constellation calculates Scope 2 emissions using guidance from the

IPCC 4th Assessment Report.

Scope 2 (market-based) GHG emissions

Metric tons CO2e

362,974

379,850

GRI 305-2

Our Scope 2 market-based emissions are higher compared to our Scope 2 location-based emissions

due to the use of residual mix emission factors, in line with GHG Protocol Scope 2 guidance Table 6.3

Market-based Scope 2 data hierarchy examples. Voluntary and compliance purchases of clean energy

are removed from the energy mix (the denominator for residual mix emission factor) to more accurately

reflect emissions associated with a buyer's purchases and avoid double counting of clean energy

attributes.

Historically, we have taken an annual energy matching approach to reducing our market-based Scope

2 emissions by retiring emission-free energy certificates (EFECs) from nuclear generation to cover 100

percent of our annual grid-supplied electric use in the PJM market territory, as was the practice prior to

our separation from Exelon in 2022. As part of our climate roadmap work in 2023, we reassessed our

approach to using contractual instruments like EFECs to reduce our market-based Scope 2 inventory.

We determined we needed a change to align our clean energy procurement strategy with what we

believe is required for firm, reliable grid decarbonization: hourly carbon-free energy matching of load

with supply within geographically deliverable boundaries. As part of this pivot, we re-baselined our

historic market-based Scope 2 inventories and are using this year to reset, without any procurement

of contractual instruments against our 2023 inventory, while we turn our ambitions toward making

progress on hourly matching against our own electricity use in our 2024 market-based Scope 2

inventory and beyond.

Had we continued the historic practice of retiring EFECs to cover 100 percent of our annual grid-

supplied electric use in the PJM market territory, our Scope 2 market-based emissions would have

increased by 13.4 percent in 2023 compared to 2022, from approximately 46,000 to 53,000 metric tons

of CO2e.
