Item 1. Security and Issuer.
 
The class of equity securities to which this Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D relates is the common stock, without par value (the "Common Stock"), of Constellation Energy Group, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Issuer" or "Constellation").

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
 
The second paragraph of Item 4 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

EDFI, a wholly owned subsidiary of EDF, evaluates its investment in and relationship with Constellation on an ongoing basis. Since the announcement on September 19, 2008 of Constellation's proposed acquisition by MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company ("MidAmerican"), EDFI has been considering various alternatives to the proposed MidAmerican transaction. EDFI believes that the proposed acquisition by MidAmerican significantly undervalues Constellation. In this connection, on December 2, 2008, EDFI submitted a proposal letter (the "Proposal") to the board of directors of Constellation (the "Board"). The Proposal provides for, among other things, EDFI’s purchase of a 50% ownership interest in the nuclear generation and operation business of Constellation for a purchase price of $4.5 billion, an up-front $1 billion cash investment in Constellation in the form of a nonconvertible cumulative preferred stock (the "Preferred") and an asset put option pursuant to which Constellation could, at its option, sell to EDFI non-nuclear generation assets having an aggregate value of up to $2 billion. The amount of any investment by EDFI in the Preferred would be credited against the purchase price for the 50% ownership interest in Constellation's nuclear business, such that, at the closing of the transaction, EDFI would surrender the Preferred as payment for $1 billion of the $4.5 billion purchase price. As detailed in the Proposal, EDFI believes the values presented in the Proposal imply a per share price of around $52.00 for Constellation common stock. The foregoing summary of the Proposal is qualified by reference to the copy of the Proposal included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Schedule 13D/A and incorporated herein in its entirety by reference. Also included as Exhibit 99.2 to this Schedule 13D/A are documents related to the Preferred.

EDFI believes that the Board should determine that the Proposal constitutes, or is reasonably likely to result in, a "Superior Proposal" under the MidAmerican merger agreement. Even if the Board would not make this determination, EDFI believes that the terms of the Proposal provide the basis necessary for the Board to change its recommendation of the MidAmerican transaction consistent with its duties to Constellation's stockholders.
