LCG, December 2, 2025--The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced the selection of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and Holtec Government Services (Holtec) to support early deployments of advanced, light-water small modular reactors (SMRs) in the United States. With this announcement, DOE is supporting the first-mover teams to develop and construct the first Gen III+ small modular reactor (Gen III+ SMR) plants in the United States. The project teams will receive up to $800 million in federal cost-shared funding to advance initial projects in Tennessee (TVA) and Michigan (Holtec) and act to expand the Nation’s capacity while facilitating additional follow-on projects and associated supply chains.

California PUC Targets Doubling Renewable Energy by 2030
LCG, March 27, 2020--The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) yesterday unanimously approved a new emissions target for its electric sector that would double California's clean energy capacity through 2030 and effectively block new natural gas-fired electric generating facilities.
The CPUC set a target for the electric sector to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to 46 million metric tons by 2030, or 56 percent less than 1990 emission levels. California's overall goal is to reduce GHG emissions to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030.
"The Decision adopted today provides guidance to load-serving entities to go out and procure approximately double the amount of renewable and storage capacity that is currently online in the electric system in California," said one of the CPUC Commissioners.
The CPUC reference portfolio identifies the need by 2030 for nearly 25 GW of additional renewable and storage resources, including 8,900 MW of new battery storage, which is roughly eight times the front-of-meter battery storage capacity installed in the U.S. today.
The challenge to the California electric sector will be even greater if electrification of (i) transportation, i.e., transitioning from gasoline vehicles to electric vehicles (EV), and (ii) space heating, i.e., moving from natural gas heating to electric heat pumps, increases the demand for electricity.
The CPUC also closed a loophole that would have allowed development of new (but not existing) natural gas plants if paired with energy storage.
