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.

Bowie Power Station Receives Last Environmental Permit
LCG, Mar. 31, 2003--An air quality permit has been granted to a planned 1,000-megawatt power plant being developed by the SouthWestern Power Group in Bowie, Arizona.The permit is the first of its kind issued by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) in three years, and is the final such permit necessary before construction of the Bowie plant can begin. Other permits included the Aquifer Protection Permit last year. The Bowie plant will use wet cooling, and will minimize the use of water by zero liquid discharge. Evaporative cooling will keep efficiency relatively high even during hot summer temperatures.The configuration of the plant is to be combined-cycle, with two phases planned. The first 500 megawatts should be installed beginning this year, with operation in late 2005. The second phase is expected to come online in 2006.
