LCG, December 24, 2025--The U.S. Secretary of Energy today issued emergency orders to keep two Indiana coal plants operational, with the stated goal to ensure Americans in the Midwest region of the United States have access to affordable, reliable, and secure electricity heading into the winter months. The orders direct CenterPoint Energy, the Northern Indiana Public Service Company (NIPSCO), and the Midcontinent Independent System Operator, Inc. (MISO) to take all measures necessary to ensure specified generation units at both the F.B. Culley and R.M. Schahfer generating stations in Indiana are available to operate.

LCG, December 18, 2025--RWE and Indiana Michigan Power Company (I&M), an American Electric Power (AEP) company, today announced their partnering to provide new wind power generation capacity online to meet Indiana’s growing electricity demand. The companies signed a 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA) for the total output from RWE’s 200 MW Prairie Creek wind project in Blackford County, Indiana. I&M will purchase electricity from the wind project, which will further diversify its portfolio and be consistent with its all-of-the-above strategy to secure generation for its rapidly growing electricity demand.

Progress Energy Florida Pursues Renewable Energy
LCG, July 24, 2007--Progress Energy Florida, a subsidiary of Progress Energy, announced late last week that it is issuing a request for renewables (RFR) to expand the company's renewable portfolio, to offset the need for new power plants, and to reduce Florida's dependence on fossil fuels. The pursuit of renewables is consistent with Florida Governor Charlie Crist's recent executive order suggesting a 20 percent renewable portfolio standard for utilities and the Governor's interest in responding to climate change concerns related to the use of fossil fuels.
Progress Energy Florida is targeting cost-competitive, renewable energy projects that are located in Florida and use renewable fuels, including: hydrogen, biomass, solar, geothermal, wind, ocean energy, hydroelectric power, or waste heat from a manufacturing process. The projects must be fully operational by January 1, 2013. The Florida Public Service Commission has pre-approved an as-available contract and a standard offer contract for renewable energy.
Progress Energy Carolinas, another utility subsidiary of Progress Energy, announced in late May its goal to meet customer growth in an environmentally sound manner, including with respect to global climate change issues. Progress Energy Carolinas plans to displace 2,000 MW of electric generation through demand-side management and energy-efficiency programs.
Both Progress Energy Florida and Progress Energy Carolinas are also pursuing the development of new nuclear reactors, which would tend to reduce the carbon intensity (carbon emitted per megawatt hour generated) of the Progress Energy electric generation portfolio. Progress Energy Florida selected a site in Levy County, Florida near its existing Crystal River Energy Complex for the possible construction of a new nuclear power plant. Progress Energy Carolinas plans to build new reactors at Progress Energy's Harris Nuclear Plant in the Carolinas. Progress Energy has not yet made decisions on whether or not to proceed with the installation of any new reactors.
