Profile

Talen Energy CorporationTLNUtilities

Produces electricity across a U.S. fleet anchored by the Susquehanna nuclear plant and a growing PJM gas portfolio. Revenue comes from wholesale energy, capacity, and ancillary services, alongside contracted nuclear power sales to Amazon; results depend on market rules, commodity relationships, plant availability, and transmission delivery.

Produces electricity from a U.S. fleet anchored by the Susquehanna nuclear plant and gas-fired generation in PJM, with additional coal exposure in Montana. Revenue comes from wholesale energy, capacity, and ancillary services, plus contracted nuclear power sales to Amazon.

Operations are concentrated in the Mid-Atlantic, Ohio, Indiana, and Montana. Nuclear output and dispatchable fossil generation serve wholesale markets, while plant operations and commodity hedging support participation in volatile merchant power markets.

Earnings depend on PJM market rules, commodity-price relationships, plant availability, and collateral demands from hedging. The Amazon agreement also relies on Susquehanna performance, nuclear oversight, and transmission delivery; recent gas-plant expansion adds acquisition integration and debt-management dependencies.

Ownership

Institutions 147.08%Insiders 1.07%

A 13F quarter can total more than the shares outstanding — sub-advisers file the same block twice, and a filer's own share count can be a quarter stale. No split is drawn from it.

Shares outstanding 45.40M · Float 36.11M · 79.5% free float

A Form 4 total here can count shares the filer formally disclaims — an award voted by proxy, for instance — which the holder's own Schedule 13D/G excludes, so where the two disagree the schedule's smaller figure is used.
