About Us
Talen owns, operates, and optimizes high-quality power infrastructure in the U.S. Our plants generate power using a variety of fuels, ranging from zero-carbon energy like nuclear – which includes Talen’s Susquehanna nuclear facility – to natural gas, coal and oil. Talen’s current generation portfolio consists of 12 generation locations that are collectively capable of producing approximately 10.7 GW of power.
Our power generation assets provide reliable and dispatchable energy for the around-the-clock requirements of commercial, industrial and residential customers. We operate at the intersection of key value drivers in the industry, including power demand from data centers and strengthening power markets. As we power the future, we strive to maximize value for our stakeholders.
We view responsible ESG practices as a key component for achieving operational excellence, maintaining strong financial performance and maximizing the value of our platform over time. Our bottom-up approach to ESG, with keen oversight from our Board, ensures employees are empowered to engage with local communities in line with our corporate ESG strategy.

We have set an aggressive target to reduce CO2 emissions 75% by 2030, with a baseline year of 2010.
ZERO COAL
We intend to eliminate the use of coal in our wholly-owned generation facilities, which represents approximately 5 GW of capacity.
0.3 OSHA INCIDENT RATE
Our OSHA Total Recordable Incident Rate (“TRIR”) continues to exceed industry standard.
Environmental
We have reduced our environmental footprint over the past several years, investing heavily in environmental controls and switching to cleaner fuels in response to market and other conditions. We have committed to the cessation of coal at our wholly-owned facilities by the end of 2028, and have already completed the conversion of our Montour and H.A. Wagner plants.
Social
Talen focuses community engagement and philanthropic efforts in the local communities where our employees live and work. We believe that a decentralized approach to engagement and giving allows us to more effectively identify areas of need and have a greater local impact. Employees are empowered to facilitate community initiatives and giving and to actively contribute time and resources to local organizations.

We are committed to best-in-class corporate governance practices and policies that support the interests of our stockholders and are embedded within our organization’s values. Our values of Excellence, No Harm, Integrity, and Continuous Improvement help to foster a culture that supports proper governance, from the Board of Directors to each Talen employee.
