Talen Energy announced a seven‑year agreement to sell 750 MW of capacity in the PJM market, generating about $100 million of annual revenue through the 2035/2036 delivery year. The contract, with an investment‑grade counterparty, lifts the portion of the company's gross margin that is under long‑term contracts to roughly 40% through 2036.
