LCG, November 6, 2025--X-energy Reactor Company, LLC, (X-energy) and the U.S. Office of Nuclear Energy today announced the start of confirmatory irradiation testing at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) to qualify X-energy’s proprietary TRISO-X fuel pebbles for commercial use in the Xe-100 Small Modular Reactor (SMR). (TRISO stands for TRi-structural ISOtropic). This is the first time that TRISO-X fuel pebbles will undergo irradiation testing in a U.S. lab, which is a critical step in meeting requirements set forth by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for the commercial deployment of advanced reactors that will use the fuel.

LCG, October 28, 2025--NextEra Energy and Google yesterday announced two agreements that will help meet growing electricity demand from artificial intelligence (AI) with clean, reliable, 24/7 nuclear power and strengthen the nation's nuclear leadership. First, Google signed a new, 25-year agreement for power generated at the Duane Arnold Energy Center, Iowa's only nuclear power facility. The 601-MW boiling water reactor unit was shut down in 2020 and is expected to commence operations by the first quarter of 2029, pending regulatory approvals to restart the plant.

Cape Wind Offshore Project Receives Approval of PPA
LCG, November 27, 2012--Wind farm developer Cape Wind announced Monday that the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities (DPU) approved its 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with NSTAR, an operating company of Northeast Utilities, to purchase the energy, capacity and renewable energy credits from the proposed Cape Wind project.
The 468-MW Cape Wind project will include 130, 3.6-MW wind turbines located in Nantucket Sound, Massachusetts. The offshore wind farm will connect to the power grid via a 66.5-mile, buried submarine transmission cable system. The project developer has pursued government approval since 2001 and completed State and local permitting in 2009.
The newly approved, 15-year PPA with NSTAR covers 27.5 percent of Cape Wind's power. A year ago, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court upheld the DPU's approval of Cape Wind's PPA with National Grid for 50 percent of Cape Wind?s power. Cape Wind?s financial advisor stated, "Taken together, these two PPAs provide Cape Wind with the critical mass to continue securing project financing."
Cape Wind expects to start construction of the wind farm in 2013 with some of the turbines in service in 2015.
