LCG, November 19, 2025--Oklo Inc. and Siemens Energy announced today that the parties have signed a binding contract for the design and delivery of the power conversion system for Oklo’s Aurora-INL (Idaho National Laboratory) nuclear small modular reactor (SMR). The agreement authorizes Siemens Energy to begin engineering and design work to expedite procurement of long-lead components and to initiate the manufacturing process for the power conversion system. Oklo’s expertise in advanced fission technology will be combined with Siemens Energy’s extensive industry experience with steam turbine and generator systems, with the ultimate goal of generating carbon-free, reliable electricity.

LCG, November 19, 2025--NERC yesterday released its 2025–2026 Winter Reliability Assessment (WRA), which concludes "much of North America is again at an elevated risk of having insufficient energy supplies to meet demand in extreme operating conditions." The WRA does state that resources are adequate for normal winter peak demand, but extended, wide-area cold snaps will be challenging.

Mountainview Project Starts Generating Power
LCG, December 13, 2005--Southern California Edison (SCE) announced that commercial operations commenced on Saturday at one of the two gas-fired, electric generating units at the Mountainview Project, located in Redlands, California. The second unit is scheduled to start commercial operations early next year. In total, the station will provide an additional 1,054 MW of generating capacity to the Southern California electric system. The combined cycle station consists of two units. Each new unit includes two combustion turbine generators, two heat recovery steam generators, and one steam turbine generator.Plant construction was started by AES in 2001. California's energy crisis led to a halt in construction. InterGen, a Bechtel-Shell joint venture, purchased the project in March 2003. SCE exercised an option to purchase the partially completed plant in March of 2004, and the construction project was completed by Bechtel.
