WASHINGTON, March 12, 2025 – Former House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Greg Walden, R-Ore., has registered as a lobbyist for Constellation Energy Corp., according to a March 6 Senate disclosure filing.

Constellation, a major nuclear energy company, is partnering with Microsoft on restarting the Unit 1 reactor at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania, the site of the worst nuclear energy accident in U.S. history in 1979.

Walden, who is currently the Chairman of Alpine Advisors, served in the House from 1999 to 2021. For Constellation, Walden will focus on “policy impacting data center power generation; policy impacting the nuclear, solar, and natural gas industries,” the disclosure said.
