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.

Texas Genco to Close 3,800 MW of Electric Generating Capacity
LCG, January 13, 2005--Texas Genco LLC filed a "Notice of Suspension of Operations" with the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) regarding the proposed retirement of nearly 3,800 MW of gas-fired generating units at six power plants in the vicinity of Houston. Of the generation to be retired, 2,567 MW of capacity had been previously mothballed. ERCOT has 90 days to evaluate the plan and determine if any of the generating units are necessary for "Reliability Must Run" (RMR) purposes. If any units are determined to be RMR units, then contracts must be negotiated for payment for such services.The stations and units identified for closure are: P.H. Robinson, Cedar Bayou 3, T.H. Wharton 2, H.O. Clarke, Deepwater 7, and Webster. The age of these units ranges from roughly 30-50 years. With the considerable quantity of new, efficient generating capacity installed in Texas over the past few years, a surplus of capacity exists now and older, less-efficient plants have limited value.Texas Genco is not alone in retiring capacity in Texas. Earlier this month, TXU announced that it will stop operating nine, gas-fired combustion turbines with a total of 585 MW of peaking capacity. The units are installed at two Texas stations - the Permian Basin Steam Electric Station and the DeCordova Steam Electric Station. In addition, TXU announced similar plans last November to mothball eight, gas-fired electric generating units with a combined capacity of 2,516 MW. These units are located at Valley, North Lake and Morgan Creek stations.
