DOE Closes $1.9 Billion Loan to Restart Duane Arnold Nuclear Plant in Iowa

LCG, September 9, 2026--The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Energy Dominance Financing (EDF) yesterday announced the financial close of a loan of up to $1.9 billion to NextEra Energy to support the finance of the restart of Iowa's only nuclear power plant, the Duane Arnold Energy Center. EDF has now financed three, carbon-free nuclear plant restarts and completed four concurrent conditional commitments and financial closings under the current Administration. This latest investment, along with the others, advance the Administration's energy dominance agenda and Executive Order, Reinvigorating the Nuclear Industrial Base.

DOE Award on Dynamic Simulation Tools and Measurement-Based Control



LCG, Sept. 20, 2012 - LCG Consulting (LCG) of Los Altos, California, is a part of the consortium organized by Michigan State University, which is recently awarded a $1.5 million grant by the Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability under DOE Advanced Modeling Grid Research Program.

The project team -- Michigan State University, University of Illinois-Chicago, Florida State University Center for Advanced Power Systems, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Southern California Edison, and LCG Consulting -- will develop a Lyapunov function based remedial action screening (L-RAS) tool that uses real-time data. This approach is expected to supports selection of appropriate remedial actions that are most likely to result in stabilizing trajectories.

For this project, LCG Consulting will provide high level advisory services in the areas of electric system modeling, develop and implement a user interface to L-RAS as well as develop and run scenarios using its proprietary UPLAN models to support the team modeling efforts.

The DOE Advanced Modeling Grid Research Program leverages scientific research in mathematics for application to power system models and software tools. It is envisioned that the selected projects will result in a new class of decision support tools that will simulate dynamic events and help inform operators on real-time conditions to maintain stability.
