LCG, June 29, 2026--Constellation announced on June 26 that it has filed license renewal applications with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to extend for 20 years the operations of Ginna Clean Energy Center and Nine Mile Point Unit 1 reactors in upstate New York to 2049. Constellation stated that it's decision to invest in these plants to extend their safe and reliable operations into mid-century demonstrates that New York State's renewal of its Zero Emissions Credit (ZEC) program is working as intended. Furthermore, Constellation stated that maintaining its nuclear fleet is estimated to save New Yorkers $50 billion and sustain reliable emissions-free generation resources to serve increasing electricity demands.

Governor of Rhode Island Calls for 600 MW of Additional Offshore Wind Energy
LCG, October 29, 2020--The Governor of Rhode Island announced this week that the state will issue request for proposals (RFP) to procure up to 600 MW of new offshore wind energy. A draft RFP will be developed by National Grid this fall, with oversight by the state Office of Energy Resources. If approved by the Public Utilities Commission, a final RFP is anticipated to be issued to the marketplace in early-2021. Any contracts for offshore wind projects resulting from this RFP process will also require separate regulatory approvals.
The Governor stated, "In the face of global climate change, Rhode Island must drive toward a cleaner, more affordable and reliable clean energy future. It is critical that we accelerate our adoption of carbon-free resources to power our homes and businesses, while creating clean energy jobs. In January, I set a nation-leading goal for Rhode Island to meet 100 percent of its electricity demand with renewables by 2030. Offshore wind will help us achieve that bold, but achievable goal, while creating jobs and cementing our status as a major hub in the nation's burgeoning offshore wind industry."
Rhode Island is home to North America's first operational offshore wind farm, Block Island. In 2019, the 400 MW Revolution Wind offshore project received approval from the state. (The Revolution Wind project is designed to provide 400 MW to Rhode Island and 304 MW to Connecticut.) As of the second quarter of 2020, Rhode Island counted 933 MW of renewable energy in its portfolio, representing a nine-fold increase since 2016.
The Governor's Executive Order, signed in January, directs the Rhode Island Office of Energy Resources (OER) to conduct economic and energy market analysis and develop viable policy and programmatic pathways to meet 100 percent of the state's electricity demand with renewable energy resources by 2030. The OER's analysis is to consider how acceleration of the state's renewable energy supply can leverage market competition to reduce ratepayer costs and energy price volatility while creating economic development opportunities in the state. The OER is to provide the Governor with an action plan to achieve the renewable energy goal by December 31, 2020, and the plan is to include recommended programmatic, legislative, and/or regulatory initiatives that can be advanced beginning in 2021.
