LCG, January 9, 2026--Meta today announced new, landmark agreements that will (i) extend and expand the operation of three existing nuclear power plants and (ii) drive the development of advanced nuclear technology. Meta's new agreements with Vistra, TerraPower, and Oklo follow Meta's request for proposals (RFP) issued last month. Meta expects these projects to deliver up to 6.6 GW of new and existing clean nuclear energy by 2035.

LCG, January 8, 2026--Babcock & Wilcox (B&W) announced today that it has selected Siemens Energy to provide steam turbine generator sets for B&W’s groundbreaking project to install and deliver one GW of power for an Applied Digital AI Factory. B&W and Siemens have entered into an agreement for a limited notice to proceed to secure the turbine sets, which will enable B&W to deliver power for the project by the end of 2028. The estimated cost of the project is approximately $2 billion. The full contract release is expected in the first quarter of 2026.

Dominion Power Increases Commitment to Nuclear Plant Expansion
LCG, May 3, 2007--Dominion announced Tuesday that it has executed a contract with GE Energy for the steel reactor container and turbine frame that incorporate GE's economic simplified boiling water reactor (ESBWR) design to be used at a proposed expansion at the North Anna Power Station in Virginia.
The ESBWR is a 1,500-MW nuclear reactor design that incorporates passive safety features that rely upon natural forces, such as gravity, in order to reduce reliance on active, mechanical systems, like pumps and valves.
Dominion submitted an application for an early site permit (ESP) in 2003 and anticipates a decision from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) by the end of this year. The ESP does not authorize the construction of a new nuclear reactor; however, the ESP does address and provide approval for a number of specific environmental, site suitability and emergency planning issues with regard to building and operating a new nuclear facility adjacent to the two, existing 910-MW Westinghouse reactors.
With the ESP, Dominion has twenty years in which to seek a combined operating license (COL) to build and operate a new reactor. If the early site permit is approved, Dominion has stated that it will apply for a COL for Unit 3. Dominion has further stated that it has not decided on whether or not to proceed with constructing a third unit.
In March of this year, the NRC approved an ESP for Exelon Generation Company, LLC at the Clinton Power Station near Clinton, Illinois.
GE Energy submitted its Design Certification application to the NRC for its ESBWR in 2005. According to GE Energy, the ESBWR is currently in the U.S. Design certification process, and a full Safety Evaluation Report (SER) is expected by late 2007, which would be in time for COL submissions that would support the commercial operation of new ESBWRs by 2014 or 2015.
