LCG, November 19, 2025--Oklo Inc. and Siemens Energy announced today that the parties have signed a binding contract for the design and delivery of the power conversion system for Oklo’s Aurora-INL (Idaho National Laboratory) nuclear small modular reactor (SMR). The agreement authorizes Siemens Energy to begin engineering and design work to expedite procurement of long-lead components and to initiate the manufacturing process for the power conversion system. Oklo’s expertise in advanced fission technology will be combined with Siemens Energy’s extensive industry experience with steam turbine and generator systems, with the ultimate goal of generating carbon-free, reliable electricity.

LCG, November 19, 2025--NERC yesterday released its 2025–2026 Winter Reliability Assessment (WRA), which concludes "much of North America is again at an elevated risk of having insufficient energy supplies to meet demand in extreme operating conditions." The WRA does state that resources are adequate for normal winter peak demand, but extended, wide-area cold snaps will be challenging.

New England Ready for Summer, ISO Says
LCG, May 18, 2001The operator of New England's bulk power grid said yesterday that there should be a sufficient supply of electricity to meet the summer needs of the region, refuting in part a report released Tuesday by the North American Electric Reliability Council.ISO-New England said that NERC did not take into account firm agreements with Hydro-Quebec of Canada for at least 1,500 megawatts of power.In its Summer 2001 forecast released last month, the ISO said that despite projected record-setting demand the region should not face blackouts, but conceded that extremely hot days or an extended heat wave could require the implementation of conservation measures."ISO New England is forecasting an adequate supply of electricity for the New England region thissummer," Stephen G. Whitley, vice president for system operations, said. "New England does not face the supply problems that are at the root of the crisis in California. Because of the addition of several new power plants throughout the New England region over the past two years, the growth in supply is outpacing the growth in demand."With 1,000 megawatts of new electric generation added since June 2000, and another 1,600 megawatts expected to be on-line this summer, New England projects a reserve margin of almost 19%, which is higher than most other areas of the country, the ISO said.
