Exhibit 99.1

Investor Presentation April 2013

This communication, and all statements made regarding the subject matter of this communication, contain statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements are based on the current expectations and beliefs of EnergySolutions and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Any statements that are not statements of historical fact (such as statements containing the words “believes,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “estimates” and similar expressions) should be considered forward-looking statements. Among others, the following risks, uncertainties and other factors could cause actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements: (i) the risk that the Merger may not be consummated in a timely manner, if at all; (ii) the risk that the Merger Agreement may be terminated in circumstances that require EnergySolutions to pay Energy Capital Partners Management II, LP or its designee a termination fee of up to $13,600,000, including the inability to complete the Merger due to the failure to obtain stockholder approval for the Merger or the failure to satisfy other conditions to completion of the Merger; (iii) risks related to the diversion of management’s attention from EnergySolutions’ ongoing business operations; (iv) risks regarding the failure of Energy Capital Partners to obtain the necessary financing to complete the Merger; (v) the effect of the announcement of the acquisition on EnergySolutions’ business relationships (including, without limitation, partners and customers), operating results and business generally as well as the potential difficulties in employee retention as a result of the Merger; (vi) risks related to obtaining the requisite consents to the acquisition, including, without limitation, the timing (including possible delays) and receipt of regulatory approvals from various governmental entities (including any conditions, limitations or restrictions placed on these approvals) and the risk that one or more governmental entities may deny approval; (vii) risks related to the outcome of any legal proceedings that have been, or will be, instituted against EnergySolutions related to the Merger Agreement; and (viii) risks related to the effects of local and national economic, credit and capital market conditions on the economy in general. Additional risk factors that may affect future results are contained in EnergySolutions’ filings with the SEC, which are available at the SEC’s website http://www.sec.gov. Because forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, actual results and events may differ materially from results and events currently expected by EnergySolutions. EnergySolutions and Energy Capital Partners expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change of expectations with regard thereto or to reflect any change in events, conditions or circumstances. Cautionary Statements

In connection with the proposed acquisition of EnergySolutions by affiliates of Energy Capital Partners, EnergySolutions has filed a proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 15, 2013. Additionally, EnergySolutions will file other relevant materials with the SEC in connection with the proposed acquisition of EnergySolutions by Energy Capital Partners pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. Investors and security holders of EnergySolutions are urged to read these documents (if and when they become available) and any other relevant documents filed with the SEC, as well as any amendments or supplements to those documents, because they will contain important information about EnergySolutions, the proposed Merger and the parties to the proposed transaction. Investors and security holders may obtain these documents (and any other documents filed by EnergySolutions and Energy Capital Partners with the SEC) free of charge at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. In addition, the documents filed with the SEC by EnergySolutions may be obtained free of charge by directing such request to: EnergySolutions Investor Relations at 1-801-649-2000 or from the investor relations website portion of EnergySolutions’ website at http://www.ir.energysolutions.com. Investors and security holders are urged to read the proxy statement and the other relevant materials when they become available before making any voting or investment decision with respect to the proposed merger. EnergySolutions, Energy Capital Partners and their respective directors, executive officers and other members of their management and employees, under SEC rules, may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from EnergySolutions’ stockholders in respect of the proposed acquisition. Information regarding EnergySolutions’ directors and executive officers is contained in EnergySolutions’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, its proxy statement for its 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, dated May 23, 2012, and subsequent filings which EnergySolutions has made with the SEC. Stockholders may obtain additional information about the directors and executive officers of EnergySolutions and their respective interests with respect to the proposed acquisition by security holdings or otherwise, which may be different than those of EnergySolutions’ stockholders generally, by reading the definitive proxy statement and other relevant documents regarding the proposed acquisition, when filed with the SEC. Each of these documents is, or will be, available as described above. Notice To Investors

EnergySolutions does not, as a matter of course, publicly disclose projections of future revenue, earnings or other financial performance of the type disclosed below. These historical financial data, financial projections and financial forecasts were not prepared with a view toward public disclosure or compliance with published guidelines of the SEC or the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial information, the IFRS or U.S. GAAP and do not, and were not intended to, act as public guidance regarding EnergySolutions' future financial performance. Ernst & Young LLP, EnergySolutions' independent registered public accounting firm, has not examined or compiled or performed any procedures on any of the historical financial data or financial projections, expressed any conclusion or provided any form of assurance with respect to the historical financial data or financial projections and, accordingly, assumes no responsibility for them. The inclusion of this information in this presentation should not be regarded as an indication that EnergySolutions or any recipient of this information considered, now considers or will consider this information to be necessarily predictive of future results. EnergySolutions does not intend to update or otherwise revise the historical financial data or financial projections to correct any errors existing in such historical financial data or financial projections when made, to reflect circumstances existing after the date when made or to reflect the occurrence of future events even in the event that any or all of the assumptions underlying the historical financial data or financial projections are shown to be in error. Although presented with numerical specificity, the financial projections and forecasts included in this presentation are based on numerous estimates, assumptions and judgments (in addition to those described above) that may not be realized and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies related to factors, such as the profitability of the Zion project and related project cost management and nuclear decommissioning trust fund investment earnings performance; our inability to find a partner for the Zion project and access related restricted cash; our ability to obtain and comply with federal, state and local government permits and approvals; the politically sensitive environment in which we operate, the risks associated with radioactive materials and the public perception of those risks; the effects of environmental, health and safety laws and regulations governing, among other things, discharges to air and water, the handling, storage and disposal of hazardous or radioactive materials and wastes, the remediation of contamination associated with releases of hazardous substances and human health and safety; the availability and allocation of government funds to performance of existing government contracts in our industry and any future government contracts; our deferred tax assets for net operating loss carry-forwards and research and development tax credits; the continued operation of, and adequate capacity at, our Clive, Utah disposal facility; factors associated with our international operations; our ongoing business relationships with significant government and commercial customers; our license stewardship arrangement with Exelon; our ability to obtain the financial support, including letters of credit and bonding, necessary for us to win certain types of new work; industry performance; general business, economic, market and financial conditions; and the other factors listed in this presentation under the section entitled “Cautionary Statements," which are difficult to predict and most of which are beyond the control of EnergySolutions. These or other factors may cause the financial projections or the underlying assumptions and estimates to be inaccurate. Since the financial projections cover multiple years, such information by its nature becomes less reliable with each successive year. The financial projections also do not take into account any circumstances or events occurring after the date they were prepared. The inclusion of the financial projections and forecasts in this presentation shall not be deemed an admission or representation by EnergySolutions that such information is material. The inclusion of the projections should not be regarded as an indication that EnergySolutions considered or now considers them to be a reliable prediction of future results and you should not rely on them as such. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the financial projections will be realized, and actual results may vary materially from those reflected in the projections. You should read the section entitled “Cautionary Statements" for additional information regarding the risks inherent in forward-looking information such as the financial projections. Certain of the historical financial data and financial projections set forth herein may be considered non-U.S. GAAP financial measures. Non-U.S. GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with U.S. GAAP, and non-U.S. GAAP financial measures as used by EnergySolutions may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts used by other companies. Non-GAAP Financial Information

5 A Compelling Transaction For Shareholders Compelling Valuation: The transaction offers a substantial premium over recent stock price and trading multiple history, and compares very favorably to precedent transactions in the sector Extensive Review of Alternatives: EnergySolutions and its Board explored a broad range of strategic alternatives for the business including asset sales and capital raises, and concluded that the transaction with Energy Capital Partners provides superior value to shareholders Diligent and Comprehensive Strategic Process: EnergySolutions undertook a comprehensive process to evaluate potential partners for the business and received no superior actionable proposals Independent Committee and Advisors: The Special Committee, and later Transactions Committee, each comprised of independent directors, reviewed all prospective alternatives and determined that the proposed merger was in the best interests of the shareholders. Goldman Sachs served as financial advisor and Skadden Arps served as legal counsel Certain Value in an Uncertain Environment: The transaction provides a cash payment today beyond what could be expected under management’s risk-adjusted go forward business plan, given the substantial macroeconomic and operational risks faced by the company as a standalone entity Resolution of Capital Structure Challenges: The transaction resolves significant refinancing risk associated with debt repayment 1 2 3 4 5 6

And Investor Concerns Have Impacted Trading Multiples “We believe a discount multiple is appropriate, given a lack of visibility on near-term growth drivers and in recognition of current debt levels...” - Scott Levine – JPM (November 8, 2012) “Our 6x multiple reflects a mid-cycle multiple to account for uncertainty on the timing of new project activity in the Government group, Zion estimates, and revenue mix” - Al Kaschalk – Wedbush (August 9, 2011) “Since no specific annual guidance on the Zion project has been provided, investor assumptions (and ours) into the early years of the project may prove to be aggressive and could move lower as management provides more visibility on the timing and amount of Zion’s contribution to consolidated earnings” - Al Kaschalk – Wedbush (February 27, 2011) Analyst Concerns EV / NTM1 Adj.

22 Analysts Recognize The Value Of The Deal Given The Company’s Challenges “In the end, the sale is acknowledgement that ES would struggle to overcome the high financing costs as well as balance sheet risk and such leverage would continue to suffocate the business preventing it from taking on disposal risk related to its strategic landfill in Clive, Utah” - Al Kaschalk – Wedbush (January 7, 2013) “No shortage of interested parties..... But very few takers and Zion the likely culprit. We expect shareholders to grudgingly approve the deal (and lower our PT to $3.75) given the likelihood of a share price decline if the deal fails. If the deal is declined, there would be significant uncertainty on management/board and the company would likely need equity” - Dan Mannes – Avondale (February 11, 2013) “... We believe the valuation is fair given that the company is being sold in its entirety and given where the stock has been over the past six months” - Alex Rygiel – FBR (January 7, 2013) Floating fnotes
