LCG, May 6, 2026--Oklo Inc. ("Oklo"), an advanced nuclear technology company, announced today that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has approved the Principal Design Criteria (PDC) topical report for the Aurora-INL (Idaho National Laboratory) nuclear small modular reactor (SMR), which is currently under construction in Idaho. The PDC topical report establishes a regulatory framework that defines the fundamental safety, reliability, and performance requirements to guide future reactor licensing and design activities, and the approved report should simplify future applications and reduce the need to re-review established material.

LCG, April 30, 2026--OG&E, the operating subsidiary of OGE Energy Corp., announced today that it will power three new data centers that Google announced in Muskogee and Stillwater, Oklahoma last year. As part of the agreement, Google will also make power generation capacity available from two solar facilities in Stephens and Muskogee Counties that are currently under construction. The data centers and associated Electric Service Agreements are expected to provide economic growth for local communities and the state, contribute to grid stability, and benefit OG&E's current customers.

Abengoa Moves Forward with Large-Scale Solar CSP
LCG, December 19, 2012--Abengoa announced last Friday the inauguration of the 100-MW, Castilla-La Mancha Solar Complex in Spain. The project employs a concentrating solar power (CSP) design.
The Castilla-La Mancha Solar Complex is comprised of two, 50-MW parabolic trough plants. The trough collectors track the movement of the sun across the sky and focus solar energy onto a tube circulating a synthetic heat transfer oil. The oil is heated to approximately 400 degrees C (752 F) and used to generate superheated, high pressure steam that is delivered to a steam turbine to drive an electrical generator, which creates electricity.
In the summer of 2013, Abengoa is also scheduled to commence operations of a larger solar CSP project in Arizona, about 70 miles southwest of Phoenix. The Solana project is designed with a generating capacity of 280 MW. The design also provides for six hours of molten salt thermal energy storage to allow energy to be dispatched as needed, even given cloudy periods and after sunset, when customer summer peak demands for air conditioning can occur. Construction began two years ago, and the project is now over 80 percent complete.
