RWE and Indiana Michigan Power Company Sign Long-term PPA for 200 MW Wind Project

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.

NRC Renews Operating Licenses for Constellation's Nuclear Reactors at Clinton and Dresden Facilities

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.

NuStart Announces Finalist Sites for the Development of New Nuclear Reactors

LCG, September 23, 2005-- NuStart Energy Development, LLC yesterday announced that its two finalist sites for the development of new nuclear reactors are Grand Gulf Nuclear Station in Port Gibson, Mississippi and Bellefonte Nuclear Plant near Scottsboro, Alabama.

NuStart was founded in 2004 to further the development of new nuclear reactors in the United States and includes Exelon, Entergy, Southern Company, Constellation, Duke Energy, the Tennessee Valley Authority, Florida Power & Light, Progress Energy, EDF International, and two reactor vendors, GE and Westinghouse Electric.

Last May, NuStart identified a short-list of six sites for developing new nuclear reactors. With the two finalist sites now identified, NuStart plans to prepare applications to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for combined construction and operating licenses (COL). One application will be for a General Electric (GE) Economic Simplified Boiling Water Reactor (ESBWR) and one application will be for a Westinghouse Advanced Passive 1000 reactor. Grand Gulf, owned by Entergy Nuclear, is designated for the GE reactor design. Bellefonte, owned by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), will be used for the Westinghouse design.

NuStart expects to start detailed studies on the two reactor designs in order to submit applications for the COLs by late 2007 or early 2008, with the potential for completion of a project in 2015.

One of the NuStart members, Constellation Energy, announced earlier this month that it has formed a joint venture with AREVA Inc. to develop and sell new nuclear power plants in the United States. The plants will be based upon AREVA's 1,600-MW European pressurized water reactor (EPR) that is currently being deployed in Europe. Bechtel Power Corporation will support the venture with its expertise as an architect-engineer and constructor. Constellation stated that, although it would continue to support the NuStart effort financially, it has selected AREVA's nuclear technology instead of the technologies selected by the NuStart.
