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.

Investment in Phillippines' Power Generation Wanting
LCG, Apr. 21, 2004--A substantial amount of power generation reserves enjoyed by the Phillippines may not last through 2007-2008, if investors do not acquire financing to build new plants starting this year or next.Although reserves were measured at 63 per cent of demand last year, the bankrupt state power utility, Napocor, no longer has a sufficiently strong credit rating to allow it to borrow more from development banks to finance plants. In addition, regulators lowered the rates it could charge, weaking its cash flow situation. Government officials want to sell off the utility's various assets in order to pay off Napocor's debts.Distribution companies selling electricity at the retail level are now being ordered to submit five-year plans outlining how they will obtain adequate supplies for their customers. In addition, a market system is envisioned that will encourage private investment to provide not only generation but transmission operations.Given the current forecasts of demand growth, reserves are estimated to fall to 13 per cent in 2008, below the 20 per cent that is seen as necessary to avoid supply disruptions in case of generator outages. If no investment is forthcoming in order to make more capacity available by 2007-2008, security needs might have to be met by reviving older plants that have been shut down.
