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.

AEP Ohio Issues RFP for 400 MW of Solar Electric Generating Capacity
LCG, October 20, 2017--AEP Ohio, an American Electric Power (AEP) company, Tuesday issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for up to 400 MW of solar energy resources in Ohio. Proposals are due December 18, 2017. The target date for the start of commercial operation for the solar resources is December 31, 2021.
AEP Ohio committed to pursue the development of 400 MW of solar and 500 MW wind generation resources in an agreement approved by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) in 2016. AEP Ohio or AEP affiliates will have the right to own up to 50% of such projects on an aggregate net basis. The renewable energy projects must be approved by the PUCO.
Proposals will be evaluated based on criteria outlined in the RFP, including preference given to sites that are located in Appalachian Ohio, create permanent manufacturing jobs in the region and commit to hiring Ohio military veterans.
The minimum nameplate bid size for this RFP is 50 MW. Bidders may aggregate multiple sites in a single Proposal (with a single Bid Price) in order to satisfy the minimum bid size, provided that the minimum size for any site in an aggregation group is 10 MW. The Renewable Energy Purchase Agreement (REPA) will have a 20-year term.
AEP Ohio customers currently receive renewable generation service through long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) with the 10 MW Wyandot Solar Farm and the 100-MW Fowler Ridge and 99-MW Timber Road wind farms.
