LCG, December 18, 2025--RWE and Indiana Michigan Power Company (I&M), an American Electric Power (AEP) company, today announced their partnering to provide new wind power generation capacity online to meet Indiana’s growing electricity demand. The companies signed a 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA) for the total output from RWE’s 200 MW Prairie Creek wind project in Blackford County, Indiana. I&M will purchase electricity from the wind project, which will further diversify its portfolio and be consistent with its all-of-the-above strategy to secure generation for its rapidly growing electricity demand.

LCG, December 16, 2025--The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) announced today that it has renewed the operating licenses of Constellation LLC’s Clinton Unit 1 in Clinton, Illinois, and Dresden Units 2 and 3, near Morris, Illinois, for an additional 20 years beyond the current expiration dates. The combined capacity of these three, Illinois-based nuclear units is 2,925 MW, and the operating license extension will enable the units to generate carbon-free power through about 2050.

Press Release
ERCOT Electricity Market 2014 - Simulation of the Competitive Renewable Energy Zones (CREZ)
LCG, January 22, 2010 – LCG CONSULTING has released a report on ERCOT Electricity Market 2014 - Simulation of the proposed CREZ wind expansion under the nodal market protocol. This report summarizes the results of extensive hourly simulations of the projected CREZ scenario 2.
The market forecasts and economic analyses are based upon sophisticated, hourly simulations of the entire ERCOT wholesale power market for year 2014 using LCG’s proprietary UPLAN Network Power Model (UPLAN-NPM) and PLATO database for ERCOT. UPLAN simulates the electrical network and the interacting energy and ancillary services markets. It optimizes generation and transmission simultaneously which is necessary for evaluating renewable technologies such as wind, solar, and storage technologies. The simulation also includes the proposed additional generation such as coal, gas, and wind.
The report includes forecasts for LMPs, A/S prices, hub prices, zonal prices, and congestion costs (CRRs). The report can be customized to include additional details such as generator performance, hourly LMPs, transmission congestion, and other information of interest.
Please see the flyer for more information. Should you be interested in a preview of the report via webcast, please contact Julie Chien.
