LCG, June 23, 2025--The Governor of New York today directed the New York Power Authority (NYPA) to develop and construct an advanced nuclear power plant in upstate New York to deliver zero-emission power that supports a reliable and affordable electric grid. NYPA will lead the effort to develop at least one new nuclear energy facility with a combined capacity of at least one gigawatt (GW) of electricity, either alone or in partnership with private entities. The directive builds on the Governor’s 2025 State of the State to develop nuclear energy plans in New York.

Ontario to Restart Nuclear Reactor
LCG, July 7, 2004--Ontario Power Generation (OPG) received approval to proceed with a project, budgeted now at $900 million, to refurbish and restart unit 1 at the Pickering A Generating Station located east of Toronto. The decision is driven in part by the estimate that the 515 MW nuclear unit can begin producing power in just 15 months - more rapidly than other alternatives - to meet growing electricity demands and to compensate for the government's planned closure of coal-fired plants, including the 1,150 MW Lakeview Station in April 2005.The approval to proceed with unit 1 follows a troublesome past with Pickering refurbishment efforts. The first of four Pickering A reactors returned to service in September 2003, more than two years late and at a cost nearly three times that approved by the Board of Directors of OPG. Ontario Energy Minister Dwight Duncan vows this won't happen again. "The lack of transparency and accountability at OPG under the former government led to a serious waste of money - we will do things differently," Duncan said. "I am not willing to write OPG another blank cheque. I have directed OPG to report regularly to the public on the progress of this project, and we have an independent auditor in place to help ensure the project stays on track."
