LCG, June 4, 2025--Energy Vault Holdings Inc. (Energy Vault) and Jupiter Power (Jupiter) today announced the signing of an agreement for the supply of an additional battery energy storage system (BESS) at a Jupiter site in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) region. The initial BESS project, located near Fort Stockton, Texas, was completed in July 2024, with a storage capacity 100 MW/200 MWh. The new BESS project will add another 100 MW/200 MWh of capacity. Construction has commenced, and the project is expected to achieve commercial operations by the end of this summer.

NRC Chairman Talks of Nuke Renaissance
LCG, April 27, 2001Chairman Richard Meserve of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission told reporters yesterday that most, if not all, commercial nuclear energy companies plan to keep their plants running beyond their initial 40-year licenses.He added that he would not be surprised if some nuclear power plants abandoned for economic reasons in the 1980s were reconsidered for completion, even though the NRC licensing process would likely have to begin over for such facilities."Perhaps the most startling recent development is the growing industry interest in the construction of new nuclear plants," Meserve said, although he said he had heard of no specific plans for a new nuclear power plant.The NRC has already approved 20-year license extensions for five reactors belonging to two utilities, Meserve said, and has on file applications for license renewals for another 34 reactors."We now expect that between 85 percent and 100 percent of the existing nuclear plants will seek license renewal," Meserve said. "It is even possible that we may receive an application to conclude certain reactor projects that were suspended for economic reasons in the 1980s."Meserve, a Democrat appointed by President Clinton a year and a half ago, said he expected the current administration's energy task force, headed up by Vice President Dick Cheney, will endorse nuclear energy as an essential part of the nation's energy mix.As for the NRC, there has been talk of "streamlining" procedures to permit "fast track" approval of license extensions. The process will still take anywhere from two years to two and one-half years, Meserve said. "We have to be satisfied that if we allow an extension, there will not be a reduction in safety," he said. "If they don't meet the criteria, we're going to reject the application."
