LCG, November 26, 2025--RWE announced today the commissioning of the Stoneridge Solar project, located in Milam County, Texas. The project capacity is 200 MW of solar power, plus a battery energy storage system (BESS) that provides 100 MW (200 MWh) of battery storage capacity. The BESS improves the supply of short-term, reliable, affordable electricity in ERCOT.

LCG, November 19, 2025--Oklo Inc. and Siemens Energy announced today that the parties have signed a binding contract for the design and delivery of the power conversion system for Oklo’s Aurora-INL (Idaho National Laboratory) nuclear small modular reactor (SMR). The agreement authorizes Siemens Energy to begin engineering and design work to expedite procurement of long-lead components and to initiate the manufacturing process for the power conversion system. Oklo’s expertise in advanced fission technology will be combined with Siemens Energy’s extensive industry experience with steam turbine and generator systems, with the ultimate goal of generating carbon-free, reliable electricity.

Mitsubishi Joins South Africa PBMR Nuclear Project
LCG, Aug. 20, 2001--Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. has announced that it will participate in the development of a 100 megawatt high-temperature gas reactor that is under design by Pebble Bed Modular Reactor Pty. Ltd. of South Africa, Asia Pulse reported this morning.Mitsubishi thus joins Exelon Corp. of the U.S. and possibly Electricit de France in seeing a future for the small, modular nuclear reactor being developed by the South African utility Eskom, parent company for PBMR Ltd.The pebble bed modular reactor is a nuclear power plant that uses coated uranium particlesencased in graphite to form a fuel sphere that is two and one-third inches in diameter and safe to handle. In addition, the design uses helium as the coolant and energy transfer medium to a closed cycle gas turbine and generator. The design differs in a number of ways from conventional pressurized water reactors which most of those in the U.S. are. These design differences, according to backers, result in the reactor being an inherently safe and economical power plant.Another virtue is the design's modularity. Units of 100 megawatts each can be combined to provide a power plant of nearly any total capacity desired.Mitsubishi Heavy said it will examine the technical and commercial viability of turbine generators powered by helium heated inside the reactor, and will sign a formal contract shortly. The company will participate in PBMR Ltd.'s plans to begin building a prototype high-temperature gas reactor in March of next year, for completion by January 2007.Exelon has asked the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to develop licensing standards for the pebble bed modular reactor and has indicated that it might seek such a license in about a year.
