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.

MidAmerican's Iowa Wind Farm on Schedule for Completion in 2011
LCG, July 28, 2011--MidAmerican Energy announced yesterday that construction of its 443.9-MW Rolling Hills Wind Project in southwest Iowa is on schedule to be completed by year-end. The Rolling Hills Wind Project is one of MidAmerican's three wind projects now underway in Iowa that will add a total of 593.4 MW of generating capacity. When the wind projects are completed, approximately 26 percent of MidAmerican Energy?s total generation capacity will be from wind turbines.
The Rolling Hills project includes 193 of Siemens' SWT-2.3-101 wind turbines, and the blades are manufactured nearby at Siemens' manufacturing plant in Fort Madison, Iowa. The project also includes approximately 37 miles of access roads and approximately 139 miles of underground wiring.
In December 2009, MidAmerican Energy received approval from the Iowa Utilities Board to add up to 1,001 MW of wind generation prior to 2013.
