LCG, December 18, 2025--RWE and Indiana Michigan Power Company (I&M), an American Electric Power (AEP) company, today announced their partnering to provide new wind power generation capacity online to meet Indiana’s growing electricity demand. The companies signed a 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA) for the total output from RWE’s 200 MW Prairie Creek wind project in Blackford County, Indiana. I&M will purchase electricity from the wind project, which will further diversify its portfolio and be consistent with its all-of-the-above strategy to secure generation for its rapidly growing electricity demand.

LCG, December 16, 2025--The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) announced today that it has renewed the operating licenses of Constellation LLC’s Clinton Unit 1 in Clinton, Illinois, and Dresden Units 2 and 3, near Morris, Illinois, for an additional 20 years beyond the current expiration dates. The combined capacity of these three, Illinois-based nuclear units is 2,925 MW, and the operating license extension will enable the units to generate carbon-free power through about 2050.

IMO Forecasts Improved Electricity System Reliability for Ontario
LCG, June 24, 2004--The Independent Electricity Market Operator (IMO) issued yesterday its 18-month outlook for the Ontario electricity system, describing the reliability over the next 18 months as "substantially improved compared with the outlook presented one year ago." The reliability improvements are driven by the recent and near-term addition of 2,800 MW of capacity, consisting of five new gas-fired plants coming on line by August 2004, together with the return to service of three nuclear units. However, forecast reserves relative to requirements will be tight at times, particularly during the fall of 2004 when generator outages are expected for maintenance purposes. For reliability needs, the IMO may act to cancel some planned generator outages.In April 2005, the planned shutdown of the 1,150 MW, coal-fired Lakeview Station will reduce generating capacity and emphasizes the need for Hydro One to complete related transmission improvements currently underway in the Greater Toronto Area.To meet future system reliability objectives, the Ontario government plans to issue a Request for Proposal for up to 2,500 MW of new generating capacity and/or demand-side management initiatives to be developed as early as 2005.How the Pickering nuclear station reactors, located east of Toronto, will fit into the future resource plan remains unclear. Of the four Pickering nuclear reactors, only one was restarted last fall, behind schedule and over budget. The other three (Pickering A Units 1 to 3) are moth-balled - and not assumed to be available in the IMO's the 18-month forecast. Last week, the board at Ontario Power Generation recommended to the government that a second reactor at the Pickering A generating station should be restarted.
