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.

Siemens and Pattern Energy Complete Agreement for Ocotillo Wind Project
LCG, November 20, 2012--Siemens Energy announced that it has completed an agreement with Pattern Energy for the 265-MW, Ocotillo Wind Energy Facility in Southern California near the border with Mexico. The project will include 112 wind turbines, each with a capacity of 2.3 MW.
The scope of supply encompasses delivery, technical field assistance and commissioning of the wind turbines, including a two-year service and maintenance contract.
The Ocotillo Wind Energy project is under construction on public lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The BLM issued a Record of Decision approving the project on May 11, 2012 and issued the right-of-way (ROW) grant on May 11, 2012. The majority of the project is scheduled to commence commercial operation in 2012, with the remainder going live during the first half of 2013.
"Our partnership with Siemens has been a strong source of jobs in the United States," said the CEO of Pattern Energy. "Our Ocotillo Wind project in California is using Siemens wind turbines with towers, blades and nacelles that are made in America."
The Ocotillo Wind project is the tenth project completed, in development or under contract between Siemens and Pattern Energy, totaling more than 800 wind turbine units.
