LCG, June 29, 2026--Constellation announced on June 26 that it has filed license renewal applications with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to extend for 20 years the operations of Ginna Clean Energy Center and Nine Mile Point Unit 1 reactors in upstate New York to 2049. Constellation stated that it's decision to invest in these plants to extend their safe and reliable operations into mid-century demonstrates that New York State's renewal of its Zero Emissions Credit (ZEC) program is working as intended. Furthermore, Constellation stated that maintaining its nuclear fleet is estimated to save New Yorkers $50 billion and sustain reliable emissions-free generation resources to serve increasing electricity demands.

Freeport LNG Terminal Project Attracts New Investors
LCG, December 17, 2013--Freeport LNG Expansion, L.P. (Freeport LNG) and IFM Investors yesterday announced that IFM Investors agreed to invest approximately $1.3 billion of equity funding for Freeport LNG's proposed natural gas liquefaction loading facility on Quintana Island near Freeport, Texas.
The funding from IFM Investors will provide equity to develop the second train at Freeports LNG's terminal over the 51 to 54 month construction period. Additional funding will be sourced from a consortium of project finance lenders. Financial close for the transaction is expected to take place in mid-2014 pending regulatory and other approvals.
Freeport LNG's CEO stated, "We are thrilled to announce that such a prestigious and well-regarded investment firm has chosen to invest in the Freeport LNG facility. This announcement clearly sends a signal to the financial community about our ability to fund the planned expansion and further solidifies our ability to move forward."
Domestic natural gas will be transported via pipeline and pretreated near Freeport LNG's existing metering, compression and underground storage facilities. The pretreated natural gas will then be delivered to the terminal through Freeport LNG?s existing gas pipeline. At the terminal it will be liquefied and then stored in full-containment LNG storage tanks. LNG will be exported from the terminal by LNG carriers arriving via marine transit through the Freeport Harbor Channel.
A number of project milestones have been achieved this year. In February 2013, Freeport LNG executed a 20-year use-or-pay liquefaction tolling agreement with BP Energy Company equivalent to the minimum guaranteed production capacity of the second train. In May 2013, the Freeport LNG Terminal received conditional authorization from the U.S. Energy Department (DOE) to export 1.4 Bcf/day of LNG to non-Free Trade Agreement (FTA) countries. In November 2013, the DOE conditionally authorized the Freeport LNG Expansion to export greater volumes of LNG to non-FTA countries from the terminal. The additional export capacity is 0.4 Bcf/day, or a total of 1.8 Bcf/day. Earlier this month, Freeport LNG awarded two contracts, each valued at approximately $2.5 billion, to a joint venture between CB&I, Inc. and Zachry Industrial, Inc. to construct the initial two trains of the liquefaction project.
Commencement of construction of Freeport LNG's liquefaction project is subject to receipt of authorization to commence construction from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and final investment decision by Freeport LNG.
