NuScale Power Achieves Standard Design Approval from NRC for 77 MW SMR

LCG, May 30, 2025--NuScale Power Corporation (NuScale), a leading provider of advanced small modular reactor (SMR) nuclear technology, yesterday announced that it has received design approval from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for its uprated 77 MW power modules. NuScale states that it remains the only SMR technology company with design approval from the NRC, and the company remains on track for deployment by 2030, with 50- and 77-MW SMR options.

EIA Presents Analysis of California's Solar and Wind Power Curtailment Challenges

LCG, May 29, 2025--The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) released an analysis yesterday showing that the California Independent System Operator (CAISO), the grid operator for most of the state, is increasing its curtailment of the rapidly growing solar- and wind-powered generation facilities in order to balance electricity supply and demand, which is necessary to maintain a stable electric system.

Alberta Okays AES 525 Megawatter for Calgary

LCG, Dec. 12, 2001--The energy regulator for the Canadian province of Alberta yesterday approved plans by AES Corp. of the United States for a 525 megawatt natural gas-fueled power plant to be built on the outskirts of Calgary.

A smattering of "not in my backyard" opposition had objected to the plant, but the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board said several conditions attached to its approval of the $450 million Canadian ($287 million U.S.) plant effectively addressed those concerns.

"The board is satisfied that the health and safety of the local community has been safeguarded through the design and operational features of the plant and the strict compliance with provincial environmental guidelines and board requirements," the regulators said.

Among the conditions imposed on AES are providing a continuous monitoring of wind speed and wind direction along with emissions of oxides of nitrogen and drafting an emergency response plan. AES will also have to set up a monitoring program for biochemical contaminants and provide quarterly reports on all of the measures.
