LCG, November 6, 2025--X-energy Reactor Company, LLC, (X-energy) and the U.S. Office of Nuclear Energy today announced the start of confirmatory irradiation testing at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) to qualify X-energy’s proprietary TRISO-X fuel pebbles for commercial use in the Xe-100 Small Modular Reactor (SMR). (TRISO stands for TRi-structural ISOtropic). This is the first time that TRISO-X fuel pebbles will undergo irradiation testing in a U.S. lab, which is a critical step in meeting requirements set forth by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for the commercial deployment of advanced reactors that will use the fuel.

LCG, October 28, 2025--NextEra Energy and Google yesterday announced two agreements that will help meet growing electricity demand from artificial intelligence (AI) with clean, reliable, 24/7 nuclear power and strengthen the nation's nuclear leadership. First, Google signed a new, 25-year agreement for power generated at the Duane Arnold Energy Center, Iowa's only nuclear power facility. The 601-MW boiling water reactor unit was shut down in 2020 and is expected to commence operations by the first quarter of 2029, pending regulatory approvals to restart the plant.

Construction Celebration at Arevon Energy's 300 MW/1,200 MWh Nighthawk Energy Storage Project in California
LCG, July 31, 2025--Arevon Energy, Inc. today announced a milestone celebration event for the construction proceedings at its Nighthawk Energy Storage Project in Poway, California. The $600 million Nighthawk Energy Storage Project, with a design capacity of 300 MW/1,200 MWh, will use modern lithium iron phosphate batteries. The project will be built by Rosendin. Arevon developed the project and will own and operate the facility.
Arevon signed a long-term contract back in 2021 under which the Nighthawk Energy Storage Project will provide energy and resource adequacy to Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E). The project will connect to the grid at the Sycamore Canyon Substation located on the Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Miramar, which distributes energy to the greater San Diego area.
"What sets the Nighthawk Energy Storage Project apart is Arevon's years of experience and proven track record in successfully developing safe, reliable renewable energy and battery storage projects in California and throughout the United States as well as the project's design, which includes added safety measures and will comprise the safest and most advanced batteries on the market today. In addition, Arevon has partnered with the Poway Fire Department, who is committed to protecting the community, first responders, and the facility in the unlikely event an incident occurs," said Arevon's Chief Executive Officer at Arevon. "Battery storage is the way of the future, and Arevon is pleased to bring this essential energy solution to Poway, where we are committed to being a great community partner through the project's multi-decade life."
