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.

TXU and Airtricity Execute Agreement for Roscoe Wind Farm in Texas
LCG, May 16, 2007--Airtricity, Inc., and TXU Corporation yesterday announced a new, five-year power purchase agreement (PPA) in which TXU Wholesale will purchase the electricity generated from the 209 MW Roscoe Wind Farm, located in Texas about 45 miles southwest of Abilene.
The Roscoe Wind Farm will include 209 Mitsubishi 1000A turbines, each with an electric generating capacity of 1 MW. The project is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2007.
At the completion of the project, TXU will have 965 MW of capacity from wind generators. Furthermore, the project will move the state of Texas closer to achieving its renewable energy target of 5,880 MW of its electric generation from renewable sources by 2015. The target is part of the Texas Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS). Qualifying renewable resources in Texas are solar, wind, geothermal, hydroelectric, wave energy, and biomass, including landfill gas. The renewables target includes 500 MW of non-wind, renewable resources. Moreover, qualifying facilities must be installed after September 1999. In Texas, the RPS applies to all retail energy providers including municipal and cooperative utilities.
