LCG, January 13, 2026--Oglethorpe Power today announced it has selected Kiewit Corporation through its subsidiary, The Industrial Company (TIC), as the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) partner for its new combined-cycle (CC), natural gas-fired power plant in Monroe County, Georgia. The new, 1,425-MW facility represents a capital investment of more than $3 billion. Commercial operation of the new generation capacity is planned to commence in 2029.

LCG, January 9, 2026--Meta today announced new, landmark agreements that will (i) extend and expand the operation of three existing nuclear power plants and (ii) drive the development of advanced nuclear technology. Meta's new agreements with Vistra, TerraPower, and Oklo follow Meta's request for proposals (RFP) issued last month. Meta expects these projects to deliver up to 6.6 GW of new and existing clean nuclear energy by 2035.

Japanese Ministries Fund Efficient Turbine Technology
LCG, Oct. 6, 2003--Two ministries within the Japanese government will engage in an ambitious research effort to design new thermal generators with efficiencies of as much as 100% above current levels.Waste heat from thermal generators that would otherwise be released into the environment is partially captured with existing combined-cycle generators, yet the thermal efficiency of such technology is typically less than 50%, in the neighborhood of 30-40%. Thus, most of the thermal energy in fuel sources such as natural gas is not converted into electricity.The ministries that will cooperate on directing the research are the Education, Science and Technology Ministry and the Economy, Trade and Industry Ministry. Private companies will be encouraged to participate. The focus is expected to be on a new kind of variation on a nickel alloy. It is hoped that the new alloy may withstand temperatures of 1,700 C. The highest level of efficiency achieved in tests outside Japan was at a temperature of 1,500 C.Investment in the research is expected to be 5 billion yen ($45 million) for the first four years. At the end of eight years, the ministries hope to reach thermal efficiency of 60 per cent.
