LCG, December 1, 2025--The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) announced today that the NRC staff completed its final safety evaluation for the application submitted by TerraPower, on behalf of its subsidiary US SFR Owner, to construct the Kemmerer Power Station Unit 1 in Kemmerer, Wyoming. Unit 1 will be the first nuclear project of its kind using the Natrium advanced reactor design. The evaluation concludes there are no safety aspects that would preclude issuing the construction permit.

LCG, November 26, 2025--RWE announced today the commissioning of the Stoneridge Solar project, located in Milam County, Texas. The project capacity is 200 MW of solar power, plus a battery energy storage system (BESS) that provides 100 MW (200 MWh) of battery storage capacity. The BESS improves the supply of short-term, reliable, affordable electricity in ERCOT.

Output of LA Solar Panels Less than Expected
LCG, Jan. 5, 2003--Members of the staff of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power have found that some solar installations around the city, of which there are approximately 500, are producing less electricity than had been anticipated when the projects were under consideration.The difference between the expected output at six large projects and the actual generation may be due in part to the fact that the panels do not receive the same amount of solar energy in actual use as they do under laboratory conditions. Two of the projects, found at the Los Angeles Convention Center, had output of 29 and 37 percent of design capacity. "The losses are extremely high with what we're picking up with these installations," Henry Martinez, assistant general manager for power generation, told the Los Angeles Daily News.At the campus of California State University, Northridge, infrastructure manager Tom Brown commented that installations were "performing very close the manufacturer's label." Panels shading a parking lot on campus were rated for 225 kilowatts, and were receiving between 82 and 189 kilowatts, depending on the amount of sun, although Brown expected they would achieve performance of up to 200 kilowatts.In a report by the LADWP's chief legislative analyst, the cost of the city's solar power was found to be approximately 80 cents. Many solar projects in California have been subsidized with incentive funding, either from the DWP or the federal government. The funding has meant that Northridge can expect to recoup its costs for solar projects in about 10 years, as opposed to 25 to 30 years otherwise, Brown told the Daily News.
