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.

Southern Announces Another Joint Development Project for New Nuclear Reactors
LCG, March 16, 2006--Southern Company (Southern) today announced that it has executed an agreement with Duke Power (Duke) to jointly pursue the development of a new nuclear power plant at a site in Cherokee County, South Carolina. Duke will be the developer and plant operator, and Southern will be a co-owner of the plant.
Duke had previously announced plans to pursue the development of a new nuclear plant, but the site had not been identified. Now Duke plans to proceed to prepare an application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for a combined construction and operating license (COL) for two Westinghouse AP1000 reactors to be built at the Cherokee County site. The COL is scheduled to be submitted to the NRC by early 2008.
Last week Southern announced another joint proposal with Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) whereby the two companies would jointly pursue the construction of two new nuclear reactors at TVA's Bellefonte plant site near Scottsboro, Alabama. The Bellefonte plant would also incorporate the AP1000 design, which includes a generating capacity of approximately 1,100 MW. Similarly, Southern has selected the AP1000 for two new reactors at its existing Plant Vogtle, located in Georgia.
The AP1000 reactor incorporates passive safety features that rely upon natural forces. The NRC approved the Design Certification for the AP1000 standard nuclear plant design on December 30, 2005. Since receiving NRC approval, the AP1000 is leading other reactor vendors and has also been selected by Progress Carolinas, SCANA and Santee Cooper as the basis for additional COL applications to construct new nuclear reactors.
Duke continues to evaluate the preparation of early site permit (ESP) applications for locations in Oconee County, S.C., and Davie County, North Carolina.
