Its flagship facility, the Susquehanna nuclear power plant, is one of the largest single-site nuclear stations in the country, while its thermal portfolio includes several large‐scale gas and coal plants that provide baseload and peaking capacity. The company actively engages with regional system operators to deliver ancillary services such as frequency regulation and reserve capacity, helping to maintain grid stability and reliability.

Talen Energy is led by an executive team with deep industry experience in power generation, finance and regulatory affairs. The company emphasizes a disciplined operating approach, cost management and environmental stewardship, with the goal of balancing reliable power delivery and long-term value creation for its shareholders.
