LCG, September 9, 2026--The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Energy Dominance Financing (EDF) yesterday announced the financial close of a loan of up to $1.9 billion to NextEra Energy to support the finance of the restart of Iowa's only nuclear power plant, the Duane Arnold Energy Center. EDF has now financed three, carbon-free nuclear plant restarts and completed four concurrent conditional commitments and financial closings under the current Administration. This latest investment, along with the others, advance the Administration's energy dominance agenda and Executive Order, Reinvigorating the Nuclear Industrial Base.

Recovered Energy Generation Projects On-line in North Dakota
LCG, February 13, 2009--Ormat Technologies yesterday announced that two, 5.5 MW recovered energy generation projects recently achieved commercial operations at two compressor stations in North Dakota along the Northern Border Pipeline. Two more projects are scheduled to commence operations by year-end.
The compressor stations are driven by natural gas-fired turbines, and the Ormat heat recovery systems use heat exchangers to extract the energy from the gas turbine exhausts, which are at a temperature of 800-900 degrees F. The energy is used to vaporize a working fluid to drive a turbine in an Organic Rankine Cycle system designed by Ormat Technologies, rather than a traditional steam system using water as the working fluid.
The use of another working fluid not only enables the relatively low temperature exhausts to support the power generation system, but it eliminates the need for water. The design has zero or near zero emissions, and its fuel is the waste heat from the compressor station.
The electricity generated from the projects is under power purchase agreements with Basin Electric Power Cooperative (BEPC) of Bismarck, North Dakota.
