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.

LCG, November 19, 2025--NERC yesterday released its 2025–2026 Winter Reliability Assessment (WRA), which concludes "much of North America is again at an elevated risk of having insufficient energy supplies to meet demand in extreme operating conditions." The WRA does state that resources are adequate for normal winter peak demand, but extended, wide-area cold snaps will be challenging.

California Water Prospects Not Too Dismal
LCG, October 1, 2002-The California Department of Water Resources is projecting that water supplies are adequate and that there is a possibility of above-average precipitation this winter.Adequate water supplies are good news for Californians, especially the drought-ridden residents of Southern California, but increased rainfall this next rain year would ensure that the state's hydroelectric plants will be able to continue to supply significant electricity capacity.Limited precipitation in recent years may have contributed to the energy crisis of 2000/2001 in that hydroelectric dams could not supply as much capacity to the state.DWR officials are unable to say for certain whether or not this new rain year, which begins October 1, will bring more rain than the last two dry years did. However, experts do say that there is a significant chance of above-average rainfall. The possibility of an El Nino event is limited but not at all out of the question.Precipitation in 2001 and 2002 was less than normal, and in Southern California, some areas have just experienced their driest year on record.
