LCG, November 6, 2025--X-energy Reactor Company, LLC, (X-energy) and the U.S. Office of Nuclear Energy today announced the start of confirmatory irradiation testing at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) to qualify X-energy’s proprietary TRISO-X fuel pebbles for commercial use in the Xe-100 Small Modular Reactor (SMR). (TRISO stands for TRi-structural ISOtropic). This is the first time that TRISO-X fuel pebbles will undergo irradiation testing in a U.S. lab, which is a critical step in meeting requirements set forth by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for the commercial deployment of advanced reactors that will use the fuel.

LCG, October 28, 2025--NextEra Energy and Google yesterday announced two agreements that will help meet growing electricity demand from artificial intelligence (AI) with clean, reliable, 24/7 nuclear power and strengthen the nation's nuclear leadership. First, Google signed a new, 25-year agreement for power generated at the Duane Arnold Energy Center, Iowa's only nuclear power facility. The 601-MW boiling water reactor unit was shut down in 2020 and is expected to commence operations by the first quarter of 2029, pending regulatory approvals to restart the plant.

New Wind Projects Commence Operations
LCG, June 16, 2004--New wind turbines continue to be connected to the electricity grid across North America. Today, FPL Energy LLC, a subsidiary of FPL Group, and PPM Energy, Inc., ScottishPower's US energy business, hosted guests at the official commencement of operations for FPL Energys Wyoming Wind Energy Center in Uinta County, Wyoming. The project includes 80 turbines, with a project capacity of 144 MW. All of the output will be purchased by PPM Energy under a long-term contract.Last week, the Creststreet Power & Income Fund LP announced that the first phase of construction is near completion and electrical power production from seven wind turbines has commenced at both its Mount Copper Project near Murdochville, Quebec and its Pubnico Point Project near Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. The second phase of construction, which includes bringing on-line an additional 40 turbines, is scheduled for completion in January 2005. When complete, the Mount Copper Project will have a 54 MW capacity, with Hydro Quebec purchasing the energy under a long-term contract. The capacity of Pubnico Point Project will be 30.6 MW, with production to be sold to Nova Scotia Power, Inc. under a long-term contract. In California, Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) announced last week that it has added seven wind turbines, totaling 5 MW, to its Solano Wind Project in the Delta, south of Sacramento. SMUD has been generating electricity from this site since 1994.
