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.

LCG, October 23, 2025--Google announced today a first-of-its kind agreement to support a natural gas-fired power plant with carbon capture and storage (CCS). The 400-MW Broadwing Energy power project, located in Decatur, Illinois, will capture and permanently store its carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. By agreeing to buy most of the power it generates, Google is helping get this new, baseload power source built and connected to the regional grid that supports our data centers.

Funds Lacking for Power Plant Fuel
LCG, Sept. 6, 2000Tanzania faces an electric power shortage because government institutions haven't paid their electric bills to another government institution, the state-owned Tanzania Electric Supply Co., a senior government official said in Dar es Salaam yesterday.The official, who insisted on anonymity, said Tanzania Electric needs 20 billion Tanzanian shillings ($25 million U.S.) to purchase fuel for its natural gas-fired power plants over the next four months. The utility hasn't the funds to purchase the gas, he said, because it "is experiencing financial problems."The financial problems are largely attributable to the Tanzanian government itself. Government institutions are 33 billion shillings ($41.3 million) behind in their electric bills. The official said the government has taken steps to correct that situation.Tanzania relies on its thermal power plants for about a quarter of its electricity, with hydroelectric facilities providing the rest. But a long-term drought has caused the level of impoundments behind dams to fall and has curtailed the production of hydroelectric power.Tanzania Electric, which produces about 95 percent of the country's electricity and is also responsible for transmission, distribution and sale, will likely have to institute power rationing without a flood of either money or water.
