LCG, February 20, 2026--The EIA today issued an "in-brief analysis" that estimates U.S. power plant developers and operators plan to complete a record installation of 86 GW of new, utility-scale electric generating capacity that is connected to the U.S. power grid in 2026. Last year, 53 GW of new capacity was added to the grid, which was the largest capacity installation in a single year since 2002. Thus the estimate of 86 GW of new capacity in 2026 is a whopping 33 GW greater than the year prior. It should be noted that over 20 GW of the 86 GW of new capacity this year is estimated to be completed in December.

Energy Alberta Files with CNSC to Construct Nuclear Reactors
LCG, August 29, 2007--The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) yesterday received an application from Energy Alberta Corporation to construct up to two nuclear reactors near Peace River in Alberta. The proposed nuclear power station would include two reactors with a combined net electrical output of 2,100 MW. The target date for commercial operations is early 2017.
The estimated total cost of the proposed facility is C$6.2 billion. The reactor design would employ the ACR-1000, which is founded upon the Atomic Energy of Canada Limited's (AECL) CANDU nuclear technology. The selected site is on private land located approximately 18 miles west of the town of Peace River, Alberta, where Energy Alberta obtained about 1,400 acres of land.
Energy Alberta is a privately held company, incorporated in Calgary in October 2005. For this project, Energy Alberta partnered with AECL, the federal Crown corporation that provides Candu reactors.
