LCG, April 13, 2026--The EIA today released an "In-brief Analysis" of U.S. coal-fired generating capacity retirements in 2025. A highlight of the analysis is that, during 2025, the electric power sector retired 2.6 GW of coal-fired generating capacity at four power plants, which is (i) the least since 2010 and (ii) 5.9 GW less than the planned retirement of 8.5 GW at the beginning of 2025.

LCG, April 10, 2026--The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced yesterday a rule proposing several revisions to the federal regulations governing the disposal of coal combustion residuals (CCR) and the beneficial use of CCR. The EPA designed the rule to encourage resource recovery, allow for site-specific considerations in permitting, and provide regulatory relief while continuing to protect human health and the environment. The EPA will be accepting comments on the rule for 60 days after publication in the Federal Register, and it will also hold an online public hearing on the rule.

Unistar to Develop New Nuclear Reactor at Calvert Cliffs
LCG, May 2, 2007--UniStar Nuclear yesterday notified the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) that it has selected a site adjacent to Constellation Energy's existing Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant in Maryland for Unistar's first combined construction and operating license (COL) application. Unistar Nuclear is a joint venture of Constellation Energy and AREVA Inc.
In the fall of 2005, Unistar Nuclear identified Constellation's Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant and the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station as finalists in its site selection process. Specifying the site is a key step in the COL application process with the NRC. The submission of an application does not create a commitment by Constellation Energy to build a new nuclear reactor at the site.
Unistar Nuclear's application will include AREVA's 1,600-MW, U.S. Evolutionary Power Reactor (US EPR). The US EPR is based upon AREVA's 1,600-MW, European EPR that is now being deployed in Europe. One EPR reactor is under construction in Finland and is scheduled to be operational in 2009.
UniStar Nuclear?s development arm, UniStar Development Company, announced on April 5 that it contracted with Ameren Corporation?s Missouri-based utility, AmerenUE, to support the preparation of a COL application. Unistar anticipates using the application for Calvert Cliffs as a reference document for future UniStar Nuclear COL applications to the NRC for other sites. UniStar Nuclear plans to submit its reference COL application to the NRC no later than March 15, 2008.
