LCG, June 11, 2025--The AES Corporation (AES) announced today that it has completed construction of the 1,000 MW Bellefield 1 project, which is under a 15-year contract with Amazon. Bellefield is a two-phase project, with each phase including 500 MW of solar plus 500 MW of a four-hour, battery energy storage system (BESS). When Phase II is completed in 2026, the total installed capacity will be 2,000 MW, and AES expects the total project will be the largest solar-plus-storage facility in the United States.

Progress Receives New License for Spent Fuel Storage at H. B. Robinson Plant
LCG, April 5, 2005--Progress Energy Carolinas, Inc., received a new, 40-year license for the dry-cask independent spent fuel storage installation at its H.B. Robinson nuclear power plant from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) on March 30.The single-unit, 710-MW H.B. Robinson nuclear plant is located near Hartsville, South Carolina and includes eight modules to store spent nuclear fuel. In April of last year, the NRC issued a new license for the plant's reactor for an additional 20 years. The reactor, which had a license set to expire in 2010, now has a license to operate until 2030. With the re-licensing for the storage of spent fuel, the long-term outlook for plant is improved.This action marks only the second time that the NRC has re-licensed a dry-cask independent spent fuel storage facility. Last month, the NRC renewed Dominion Generation's license for its dry-cask independent spent fuel storage installation at the Surry nuclear power plant located near Surry, Virginia.The 40-year term of the renewal at both power plants represents an exemption from the NRC regulations that specify a 20-year license term. The NRC stated that the exemption is allowed for in that dry casks are an interim storage solution that will be used until a more permanent solution is available.The renewals at both nuclear stations include strict terms with respect to inspections and monitoring the aging and integrity of the casks.
