LCG, November 19, 2025--Oklo Inc. and Siemens Energy announced today that the parties have signed a binding contract for the design and delivery of the power conversion system for Oklo’s Aurora-INL (Idaho National Laboratory) nuclear small modular reactor (SMR). The agreement authorizes Siemens Energy to begin engineering and design work to expedite procurement of long-lead components and to initiate the manufacturing process for the power conversion system. Oklo’s expertise in advanced fission technology will be combined with Siemens Energy’s extensive industry experience with steam turbine and generator systems, with the ultimate goal of generating carbon-free, reliable electricity.

LCG, November 19, 2025--NERC yesterday released its 2025–2026 Winter Reliability Assessment (WRA), which concludes "much of North America is again at an elevated risk of having insufficient energy supplies to meet demand in extreme operating conditions." The WRA does state that resources are adequate for normal winter peak demand, but extended, wide-area cold snaps will be challenging.

DTE to Construct Solar PV Facilities with Combined Capacity of 45 MW in Michigan
LCG, December 22, 2015--DTE Energy announced yesterday plans to start construction in the spring of 2016 on two solar photovoltaic (PV) facilities that will have a combined electric generating capacity of 45 MW. The two projects will be built in collaboration with the City of Lapeer, Michigan.
The addition of these solar projects will support DTE Energy in its efforts to exceed the Michigan Renewable Energy Standard (RES) that requires electric utilities to supply ten percent of their electricity from renewable energy sources every year from 2015 to 2029. The RES was enacted in 2008.
DTE Energy's vice president of Business & Development stated, "DTE is the largest investor in solar in the state. The development of the two new Lapeer solar projects furthers that investment and reflects DTE Energy's broader commitment to build a more sustainable future for our customers through a cleaner, more diversified energy portfolio."
Earlier this month, the Michigan Public Service Commission (PSC) approved DTE's contract with Inovateus Solar MI, LLC to develop additional solar generating capacity of up to 50 MW, and this approval allows DTE to proceed with the two (30-MW and 15-MW) Lapeer sites. DTE is evaluating other sites for the remaining 5 MW of the approved generating capacity.
