LCG, June 23, 2025--The Governor of New York today directed the New York Power Authority (NYPA) to develop and construct an advanced nuclear power plant in upstate New York to deliver zero-emission power that supports a reliable and affordable electric grid. NYPA will lead the effort to develop at least one new nuclear energy facility with a combined capacity of at least one gigawatt (GW) of electricity, either alone or in partnership with private entities. The directive builds on the Governor’s 2025 State of the State to develop nuclear energy plans in New York.

GE Introduces Most Efficient Turbine to Date
LCG, Dec. 10, 2003--A gas turbine that would surpass all existing simple-cycle turbines in efficiency was formally introduced today by GE at the Power-Gen International conference in Las Vegas.The LMS100 is a 100-megawatt turbine that will undergo development testing in May 2004, and is aimed at the peak and mid-range markets. It is novel, GE announced, in that it achieves efficiency of 46 percent by including components from GE Power Systems' heavy-duty frame gas turbines and GE Aircraft Engines' aeroderivative gas turbines."This program is a first for GE in that not only are multiple businesses providing development expertise, but they are also designing, manufacturing, sourcing, assembling and testing the product," the president and CEO of GE Aircraft Engines, David Calhoun, said.Although the LMS100 is a simple-cycle turbine, it claims efficiency of 40% at 50% of its capacity, indicating better efficiency than some turbines realize at full output.
