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.

FERC Approves Five Eastern LNG Projects
LCG, June 16, 2006--The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) yesterday approved applications to develop five liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal facilities located on the Gulf Coast and Atlantic seaboard. If constructed, the projects combined would increase LNG-import vaporization capacity initially by up to 8.2 Bcf/day, with an ultimate plan of up to 9.7 Bcf/day.
The new LNG import terminals approved are the Creole Trail LNG & Creole Trail Pipeline, the Port Arthur LNG and Port Arthur Pipeline, and the Crown Landing LNG Project. Cheniere?s new Creole Trail LNG import terminal, located in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, is to include four LNG storage tanks with a design storage capacity of approximately 13 Bcf and an average deliverability of 3.3 Bcf/day. Cheniere?s new Creole Trail pipeline system will be a dual, 42-inch diameter pipeline extending from the LNG terminal to interconnections with multiple pipelines that provide access to markets throughout the Midwest and Northeast.
Sempra?s new Port Arthur LNG terminal will be located near Port Arthur, Texas and will include six LNG storage tanks. Sempra plans to build the facility in two phases. The completed project design is to provide an average deliverability of 3 Bcf/day to existing interstate pipeline systems, which have access to markets in the Midwest and Northeast. In addition, new pipelines would extend from the LNG terminal to interconnections with Transcontinental Gas Pipeline Company in Louisiana and NGPL in Texas.
The Crown Landing LNG project site, which is developed by a wholly owned subsidiary of BP America Production Company, is located in New Jersey. The facility design includes a storage capacity of 9.2 Bcf, with a deliverability of 1.2 Bcf/day. The overall plan includes a new pipeline that would connect the terminal to nearby markets. The pipeline would be constructed by Texas Eastern Transmission Company.
The FERC also authorized expansions at two previously authorized LNG facilities. The proposed Sabine LNG project, located in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, was previously authorized in December 2004. Yesterday FERC approved Phase II of the project, which adds three storage tanks and related facilities that would increase the average deliverability from 2.6 Bcf/day to 4 Bcf/day.
The FERC authorized the expansion of the Dominion Cove Point LNG import terminal and related facilities near Lusby, Maryland. The existing LNG terminal has a storage capacity of 7.8 Bcf and a peak deliverability of 1 Bcf/day. The expansion includes the addition of two storage tanks that will increase storage capacity by approximately 6.8 Bcf and deliverability by 0.8 Bcf/day. The FERC also authorized the construction of related pipeline facilities to increase access to markets.
