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.

LCG, December 16, 2025--The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) announced today that it has renewed the operating licenses of Constellation LLC’s Clinton Unit 1 in Clinton, Illinois, and Dresden Units 2 and 3, near Morris, Illinois, for an additional 20 years beyond the current expiration dates. The combined capacity of these three, Illinois-based nuclear units is 2,925 MW, and the operating license extension will enable the units to generate carbon-free power through about 2050.

NRG Files with NRC to Construct New Nuclear Reactors in Texas
LCG, September 25, 2007--NRG Energy, Inc. (NRG) and South Texas Project Nuclear Operating Company (STPNOC) yesterday announced that they will file a Combined Construction and Operating License (COL) Application with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to construct and operate two new nuclear units at the South Texas Project, located about 90 miles southwest of Houston. NRG expects the new units to commence operations in 2014 and 2015.
The combined design capacity of the new units will equal or exceed 2,700 MW. The existing two units are pressurized water reactors, each with a capacity of 1,312 MW. NRG selected the Advanced Boiling Water Reactor (ABWR) technology for the new units. The NRC issued final design certification for the GE ABWR in 1997, allowing it to be used in U.S. projects. The ABWR is a "Generation III" reactor design that is in operation today, with four operating units in Japan and three more approaching completion in Taiwan and Japan.
STPNOC, together with a contracting team led by GE-Hitachi Nuclear Energy and Bechtel, prepared the COL application that was to be filed yesterday. The COL application includes two key components: a safety analysis and an environmental report. NRG anticipates that the NRC process will lead to NRG receiving its license approval such that it could commence construction in 2010.
The site and cooling reservoir were originally designed for four units, and the plans are for the new units to be built adjacent to the existing two units. STPNOC, which currently operates units 1 and 2, will operate the new units.
NRG owns 44 percent of the South Texas Project, and CPS Energy and Austin Energy own 40 percent and 16 percent, respectively. The nuclear expansion is part of NRG's corporate strategy to increase non-carbon emitting generation and reduce its carbon intensity.
