"We ended 2010 having completed all of the strategic initiatives we announced at the start of the year, successfully putting our core businesses in a stronger position to operate more efficiently, strengthen existing customer relationships and win new business," said Mayo Shattuck, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Constellation Energy. "We completed our goal of deploying more than $1 billion of cash to acquire strategically located generation assets, including the 2,950-megawatt Boston Generating fleet in New England and the 550-megawatt Colorado Bend Energy Center near Wharton, Texas. Through acquisitions and organic growth, we significantly increased our generation capacity during the year, laying the foundation for continued growth in our wholesale and retail energy supply businesses in regions where our load obligations exceed our physical generating capacity. History The company's origin dates back to 1816 when artist and entrepreneur Rembrandt Peale burned gas to illuminate his Baltimore City salon. His so-called "ring beset with gems of light" became the seed that grew into the Baltimore Gas and Electric's (BGE) predecessor, the Gas Light Company of Baltimore. On April 30, 1999, Constellation Energy Group, Inc., became the holding company for BGE and Constellation Enterprises, which included Constellation Energy Source, Inc., Constellation Investments, Inc., BGE Home Products & Services, Inc., Constellation Power Source, Inc., Constellation Power, Inc., and Constellation Senior Services, Inc.
