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.

Bear Head LNG Project Gains Momentum
LCG, August 24, 2005--CB&I announced yesterday that it was awarded a lump-sum contract valued at over $100 million for the design and construction of storage tanks for the planned liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal to be located on a peninsula on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada. The facility will be owned and operated by Bear Head LNG Corporation, a subsidiary of Anadarko Petroleum Corporation.The Bear Head LNG project is designed to receive LNG from tankers and to regasify 1 Bcf/day of natural gas, which will be transported to Northeast markets via the Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline (M&NP). This initial phase is scheduled to be operational in late 2008. A second phase of the project may be added that would increase the sendout capacity to 1.5 Bcf/day.CB&I will be responsible for turnkey engineering, procurement and construction of two LNG storage tanks. Engineering and procurement activity for the project is already under way. The Environmental Assessment was approved in August of last year. With natural gas prices generally at all time highs, LNG projects continue to gain momentum. Last month, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approved the proposed Ingleside LNG terminal, with a design capacity of 1 Bcf/day. The project site is on the shore of Corpus Christi Bay, Texas, and is owned by Occidental Chemical Corp.In June, the FERC approved the construction of the Vista del Sol LNG Terminal, which will also be located along the Gulf of Mexico near Corpus Christi, Texas. Proposed by affiliates of ExxonMobil, the design capacity is 1.1 Bcf/day. Furthermore, the Commission approved On June 30 the Weavers Cove LNG terminal, to be constructed in Fall River, Massachusetts, and the Golden Pass LNG Terminal and Golden Pass Pipeline, which are to be constructed in Texas and Louisiana.
