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.

Babcock & Brown Ready to Proceed with Trans Bay Cable
LCG, August 17, 2007--Babcock & Brown announced yesterday that it received approval from the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) for its proposed Trans Bay Cable, a $450 million electric transmission project designed to improve grid reliability and service to San Francisco.
The proposed high voltage direct current (HVDC) cable will extend 53 miles from Pittsburg southwest to San Francisco via an underwater route in the San Francisco Bay and will be capable of delivering up to 400 MW into San Francisco. The City of San Francisco is otherwise dependent upon transmission lines extending up the San Francisco Peninsula from the south.
In September 2005, the Board of Governors of the California Independent System Operator (ISO) selected the project over other alternatives. With the approval from the BCDC, Babcock & Brown stated that the project is now scheduled to commence operations in 2010.
Babcock & Brown's partner in the project is the City of Pittsburg, which will own, operate and maintain the facilities.
